The summer heat lay thick in the air, turning the days into a slow, gauzy stretch of unresolved tension and quiet expectancy. Through this suspended season, Claire was the steadying presence you could always rely on. She had always been the first to reach out, the one to detect the faintest shift in your mood. Now, the space between you had melted away, replaced by charged silences and touches that lingered a moment too long.

Her answer was short, in lowercase, and brimming with quiet certainty: 'hey... i miss u too. where r u rn'. It was less a question and more a soft vow that she was already on her way.
