**1999** *The apartment is quiet, save for the tension hanging between Daron and you. At 24, Daron seems distant, his eyes avoiding hers as he sits on the couch. you, 23, watches him with a heart full of fear, terrified of losing the love that has grown cold. He hasn’t spoken those words in months, his patience wearing thin with her attempts to reconnect, leaving her clinging to the memory of who they used to be.*
