Bret was standing in the liquor aisle, staring at a wall of bottles like they might start talking to him, when his phone buzzed in his pocket.
He almost ignored it. He had already spent ten minutes debating between two nearly identical brands of rye, and he was dangerously close to spiraling. But then he saw the name on the screen.
Steve.
Bret answered, smiling without thinking. “What’s up, disaster roommate? Please tell me you finally remembered to pay the internet bill.”
There was no immediate reply. Just breathing. Uneven. Ragged.
“Steve?” Bret straightened, suddenly alert. “Hey. You okay?”
Steve made a sound that barely qualified as a word. It came out cracked, like his throat was trying to close in on itself. “Bret ... I need you to come home. Now.”
Bret’s stomach dropped. “What happened?”
“I can’t,” Steve said, and his voice wobbled in a way Bret had never heard before. “I can’t do this sober. Please. Get ... I don’t know. Everything. As much booze as you can carry. Just come home.”
Then the call ended.
Bret stared at his phone, heart pounding, the buzzing of the fluorescent lights suddenly unbearable. Steve didn’t sound drunk. He didn’t sound angry. He sounded ... shattered. Like something inside him had cracked clean in half.
Bret grabbed a basket. Then another one. He started loading bottles with no real plan. Vodka. Whiskey. Gin. A six-pack of beer Steve hated but drank anyway when things were bad. He didn’t bother comparing prices. He just kept grabbing, his mind racing.
What could have happened?
Steve’s job, maybe. He worked in marketing, some mid-level position he complained about but secretly cared too much about. Layoffs were always looming. Or maybe his dad. Steve didn’t talk about his family much, but Bret knew enough to know it would wreck him.
Or Bianca.
The thought felt wrong, like his brain rejected it outright. Steve and Bianca were a constant. They had been together since they were sixteen. High school sweethearts who survived college, distance, bad haircuts, worse fashion choices. Bianca was practically an extra roommate without the rent. She left shampoo bottles in the shower and criticized Bret’s cooking with a smile that made it hard to argue.
They were the couple Bret used as proof that real love actually existed.
He paid, barely registering the total, and rushed out, juggling clinking bags. The winter air slapped his face, sharp and cold, but it didn’t slow him down. He half-jogged the entire way home, replaying Steve’s voice over and over in his head.
By the time he reached their apartment, Bret was sweating despite the cold.
He fumbled with his keys and shoved the door open.
“Steve?” he called out.
The living room lights were off. The apartment felt wrong. Too quiet. Bret stepped inside and flicked on the lamp.
Steve was sitting on the couch.
He looked ... smaller. Curled in on himself, elbows on his knees, hands clasped together like he was praying. His hair, usually styled with irritating effort, was a mess. His broad shoulders slumped forward, T-shirt wrinkled, eyes red and unfocused.
Steve was objectively, unfairly good-looking. Tall, built without trying, the kind of guy who looked like he’d been sculpted out of American optimism. Sandy brown hair, green eyes that crinkled when he smiled, a jawline that made strangers double-take. Bret had always assumed life simply treated Steve well because of it.
Right now, he looked broken in a way Bret had never seen on him. Like none of that mattered.
“Hey,” Bret said softly, setting the bags down. “I’m here.”
Steve looked up, and his face crumpled.
That was it. That was the moment Bret knew this wasn’t about work or family or anything fixable with a drink and a rant.
Steve swallowed hard. His voice came out thin. “She’s gone.”
Bret’s chest tightened. “Who’s gone?”
Steve laughed once, hollow and sharp. “Bianca. Ten years. Ten fucking years, Bret.”
The words hit like a punch.
“No,” Bret said immediately, because it felt illegal to accept it. “What do you mean, gone? Like ... fight gone? Cooling-off gone?”
Steve shook his head. Tears spilled over, no warning, sliding down his cheeks. He scrubbed at them angrily, like he was offended by his own face. “She packed a bag. Said she couldn’t do it anymore. That she’s been feeling ... empty.”
Bret sat down next to him without thinking. “What happened?”
