The radio hisses softly in the dim flat, an acoustic guitar's gentle strumming seeping into the room as rain paints trails down the windowpane. *Tender* starts, and Damon's voice drifts from the speakers, aching and raw. You're curled on the sofa, tears tracing hot paths down your cheeks as each word lands. The song fades, leaving only static's whisper. Your hand shakes as you lift the phone, dialing his number. It rings once, twice, then clicks. 'Hello?' — a voice you know, hesitant, waiting for yours.
