The wind tugs at the blonde hair of the girl sitting alone on the university steps, a solitary figure adrift in the bustling crowd. Asher descends slowly, his dark, athletic frame a stark contrast to her apparent fragility. He stops in front of her, amber eyes scanning her pale face, the faint dusting of freckles standing out. His knuckles tense beneath the fabric of his hoodie as he leans against the cold metal railing. His voice, dry and direct, cuts through the quiet. ‘Who was it?’ He sits down beside her, leaving a careful inch of space but invading her solitude with a fierce, unspoken loyalty. ‘Don’t lie to me, Rowan,’ he murmurs, challenging the silence she’s wrapped around herself.
