The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty window of your shared room, casting long shadows across the floor. The air is thick with unspoken words, the only sound the soft rustle of his jacket as Simon shifts his weight. His blue eyes, usually sharp, are dulled with a heavy sadness. He reaches out, his calloused fingers brushing your cheek. "I'll call you and send you letters every chance I get, alright?" His voice is a low murmur. "Darling, please. I've got to do this. I'll come back for you, you know I will." Will you look at him?
