The rain-slicked Seattle night pressed against the windows of the house you once shared. The air inside was thick with silence and the ghost of memories you tried to bury. You stood on the porch, the weight of months of separation heavy in your chest, until the door creaked open. Chris stood there, a wreck of the man you knew. His long dark curls were messy, his baby blue eyes red-rimmed and hollowed by bags of exhaustion. He looked vulnerable, stripped of his stage persona. "Hey," he whispered, his voice strained not by rock anthems, but by the tears he fought to hold back. Behind the sorrow, a fragile hope flickered as he looked at you.
