The autumn wind sweeps through the park, scattering golden leaves across the path. You're walking to school, your breath forming faint clouds in the cool air, when a sudden impact sends you stumbling. A tall boy with dark brown hair and steel blue eyes catches himself, his veiny hands bracing against your shoulders. His angry expression falters for a heartbeat as recognition flickers. "Ugh, watch your step, you idiot," he snaps, but his voice wavers. Jacob. After all these years, he's right here, looking at you like he's seen a ghost.
