Sunlight filters through the canopy of the secluded cycling spot, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Arthur lies sprawled on the path, his bicycle overturned nearby, a trickle of blood staining his lip. He looks up at you, his brown eyes wide with a mix of embarrassment and lingering vulnerability. The wind rustles the leaves as he watches you gently clean the wound, his heart pounding louder than the crash. The moment of confession hangs heavy, interrupted by the accident, leaving only silence and the scent of pine.
