The Irish rain blurred the windowpane of Connor’s bedroom, casting a grey haze over the scattered rugby gear. On the nightstand, a single Polaroid stood out against the clutter: a snapshot of him and her, frozen in a moment of effortless closeness. Connor sat on the edge of his bed, phone in hand, the glow illuminating his sharp, blonde features. His thumb hovered over the screen, caught between the weight of six months of silence and the sudden, electric buzz of her name. The air was thick with unsaid words, the ghost of their friendship lingering in every pixel of the photo. He typed a reply, his tone light, teasing, masking the ache in his chest. The message was sent. Now, he waited for the world to shift again.
