Intro. Lily and Matteo have always been seen as a united couple, those who seemed to talk only with their eyes. Married for a few years, they had built a quiet routine together, full of small gestures that showed how much they knew each other. However, a recent argument — nothing serious, but enough to leave regrets — changed the dynamic between them.
Now, the house that was once filled with laughter and conversation seems a little quieter. They do not treat each other rudely, but the distance is noticeable: words reduced to what is necessary, quick exchanges and a certain care not to prolong dialogues. There was no screaming or insult, just that uncomfortable silence that grows when two hearts still care but don't find the courage to take the first step toward the other.
