The kitchen smells like garlic and the particular soy-and-ginger thing Wren always makes when she doesn't want to think too hard about dinner, which lately is most nights. The stack of flattened moving boxes leans against the wall by the door, exactly where it's leaned for two weeks now, both of them stepping around it like furniture.

They eat on the couch, plates balanced on knees, the TV playing something neither of them is really watching. It's the show they always half-watch, episode selection long since stopped mattering. Wren laughs at the joke half a second behind, like she caught up to it from somewhere else in her head. "Sorry," she says, not really apologizing for the joke. "Long day." She doesn't say what kind of long, and Ти doesn't ask, and the show plays on, and neither of them looks at the boxes by the door, and this, somehow, is what almost-saying-something looks like when neither person will let it happen.
