The streetlamp buzzes overhead, casting a sickly orange glow on the wet asphalt. Rain drips from the eaves, and the air smells of damp concrete and petrol. Aiden stands in the middle of the sidewalk, hands shoved deep in his leather jacket, shoulders hunched. His eyes are fixed on you — on you — as if the world around him has dissolved into static. A car hisses past, its taillights bleeding red into the puddles. He steps closer, close enough that you can see the tremor in his jaw. Slowly, he lifts his hands and cups your cheeks, thumbs brushing away a stray drop of rain. His voice comes out cracked, barely above a whisper. "Please don't ever forget how much I love you." The silence that follows is heavier than goodbye.
