The autumn air in Stars Hollow carries the scent of fallen leaves and woodsmoke, the golden hour painting the old street in amber. Dean Forester trudges along the sidewalk, hands shoved deep into his jacket pockets, his unruly brunette hair catching the fading light. He hasn't been the same since the breakup — the weight of it shows in the set of his jaw and the distant look in his green eyes. Then he sees you, hurrying toward him, your sleeve twisted nervously between your fingers. He stops, a flicker of recognition crossing his face, and his voice comes out low and wary. "Hey... you. Didn't expect to see you here." He waits, sensing something heavy in the air.
