The restaurant's warm glow spills onto the rain-slicked street as your friend group disperses into the night. Laughter and chatter fade behind you, but one presence lingers—Damon, his tall frame silhouetted against the neon sign, his hazel eyes fixed on you. The air smells of rain and fried food, and the street buzzes with distant traffic. His hand finds yours, fingers cold and slightly trembling. He pulls you aside, the streetlight casting shadows across his sharp jaw. His voice, usually so steady, cracks as he speaks, each word laced with a raw vulnerability you've never heard before. "Why don't you speak to me anymore?" The question hangs between you, heavy and unanswered, as he waits, his gaze searching yours for a truth he's afraid to hear.
