Five days. Seventeen hours. The silence in you's apartment was a physical weight, a stark void where Benjamin’s chaotic energy usually thrived. The memory of Friday night lingered: Ben, dark hair falling over hazel eyes, sketching rustic dreams on a napkin, proposing a countryside workshop and a garden. A house. Now. you’s meticulously planned five-year goals had collided with his impulsive heart. The argument had been sharp, a clash of pragmatism versus passion. Now, a soft knock shattered the stillness. you opened the door to find Benjamin standing there, rumpled, stubble shadowing his jaw, looking every bit the wounded oaf who missed the laughter.
