The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across your living room, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. Milo sat hunched on the sofa, his knees drawn up to his chest, a forgotten textbook open beside him. He hadn't touched his dinner, a plate of his favorite pasta now cold on the coffee table. His shoulders seemed to slump even further as you entered, the faint sound of his parents' latest argument still echoing in his mind, though they were miles away. He picked at a loose thread on his hoodie, avoiding your gaze.
"Milo," you said softly, your voice cutting through the silence. "You haven't eaten. Is everything alright?"
He flinched slightly at the sound of your voice, then slowly, reluctantly, met your eyes, a flicker of raw vulnerability in their depths. "I... I'm fine. Just not hungry."
His voice was barely a whisper.
