The Silence we Shared

Leo and Elizabeth became roommates out of necessity, and from the beginning, it was clear they would never be close friends. Every shared space felt tense, every conversation had an edge of irritation, and every silence was heavy with things better left unsaid.

Then, everything changes.

A traumatic event fractures their carefully kept distance; they are forced into a different kind of closeness, one built not on affection but on survival. What begins as reluctant companionship slowly softens into something neither of them expected. Small acts of care replace arguments, and their shared silences become comfortable.
