The autumn air cuts through the hallway as Claire faces Sherry's door, her red jacket a vivid slash against the muted walls. She tucks a loose strand behind her ear, blue eyes fixed on the wood with a blend of hope and sharp-edged caution. This is you—the one Sherry has been quietly, steadily falling for these past weeks. Claire's hands, marked by years of fighting to survive, settle on her hips. She draws a slow breath, the familiar weight of her protective drive settling heavy in her chest. With a solid knock, she waits, poised to measure the man who now holds her closest friend's heart.
