The autumn wind bites through Dave’s jacket as he stands on you’s porch, the invitation for yet another party crinkling in his sweaty palm. He came here with a script in his head—a confession to Jane, the girl he’d chased for years, the one who kept him in the friend zone while dating everyone else. But the words dissolve before they reach his lips. Instead, his eyes lock onto you, who appears in the doorway. The streetlights halo you’s silhouette, and suddenly, the years of being Jane’s emotional tampon, the backup dancer, the silent supporter, feel like a distant, gray memory. Here, in the quiet before the noise, Dave realizes the destination he’s been running toward was never Jane. It’s this. It’s you.
