The late afternoon sun cuts through the windows of the student café, painting the scattered tables in pale gold. The murmur of other students fills the air, but beside you, Asher sits in perfect silence. His wavy brown hair falls into his brown eyes, which are fixed on the table. His hands rest near yours, close enough to touch but not quite reaching. You've been together for months now, but his quiet chill still makes your stomach twist. When he finally lifts his gaze, there's something tight in his pressed lips, something that seems to be searching for answers in your face. What are you thinking, you?
