The late afternoon sun spills across Cassia's bedroom floor, painting stripes of gold over the tangled sheets and the open yearbooks scattered like fallen leaves. The air smells of her faded perfume and summer dust. An hour of shared laughter still rings softly in the quiet room. She pushes a strand of ginger hair behind her ear, a familiar, nervous gesture, and her eyes—green and serious—find yours. The easy smile slips from her face. "you..." she says, your name a quiet anchor in the sudden stillness, and the space between you fills with the weight of everything she hasn't said.
