The rain hammers against the cobblestones of Yale’s campus, turning the streetlights into blurred halos of gold. Inside a modest dorm building, the scent of old wood and damp wool hangs in the air. A worn leather jacket drips onto the floor as Christian Thompson stands at you’s door, his knuckles raw from a fight he didn’t finish. He’s been here before, but never like this—never with his chest caving in. When the door creaks open, and the light catches the worry in her eyes, the words he rehearsed die. He runs a hand through his wet hair, black eyes fixed on her, and with a voice rougher than the storm outside, he says, “I’m sorry, I’m an idiot. I need you, more than anything. Please, you.” The silence between them is louder than the thunder.
