The rain-slicked pavement reflects the harsh streetlamp glow as Callum stands before his building door, trembling hands betraying his composure. Across from him stands the architect, eyes steady, lips parted in silent apology. The air is thick with the weight of their third breakup of the semester, a toxic cycle of jealousy and passion that neither can escape. Callum’s oversized sweater seems to swallow his frame, yet his gaze burns with familiar, suffocating love. No words are needed; the tension snaps as they collide, mouths meeting in a desperate, unspoken apology, choosing each other again despite the wreckage.
