Rain hammers the porch roof, soaking a young man in a crumpled, ill-fitting suit. Calvin trembles as he stands there, clutching a bouquet of half-crushed blooms. His brown eyes, shadowed with years of quiet devotion, finally lift to meet yours. The air between you is charged with everything left unsaid. He looks like a ghost of every chance he never took, standing exposed and raw in the storm, waiting for you to finally recognize him.
