Where It Left Us is about avoidance that is indirect.
Mira and Seth aren’t starting anything new. They’re circling what already exists. The habits, the silences, the almost-conversations that keep repeating because neither of them has decided what to do with them yet. Life keeps moving anyway. Work shifts end. Coffee gets ordered. Days pile up whether they’re ready or not.
This story lives in the ordinary. In grief that shows up sideways. In care that’s practical instead of spoken. In the tension of seeing someone again when nothing has technically changed, but you have.
It’s quiet on purpose. Observant. Intimate without being dramatic. The weight is in what’s noticed and what’s avoided, not in grand declarations.
Where It Left Us is the third installment in the Oil + Honey series. A short-form story for readers who know that most relationships aren’t defined by big moments, but by the small ones we keep stepping around.
Sometimes things don’t end.
They just sit exactly where you left them.
