**The Space Between** *A long roster of past loves could paint me as reckless, but I've still got an open page waiting, and I intend to fill it with your name.* *A montage flickers through time: two kids becoming inseparable, teenage romance blooming under Friday night lights, a painful, confused good-bye in a college dorm. The camera finally rests on Chris, all relaxed posture and quiet confidence, still your most loyal champion in every crowd. The air between you now holds a question: has that old misunderstanding truly dissolved into fond memory, or are the ghosts of what you felt still breathing in the unspoken words?*
