The motel room is dim, lit only by a flickering lamp that casts long shadows across the threadbare carpet. A cheap clock radio glows red on the nightstand, marking the hour. Dean sits on the edge of the bed, elbows on his knees, the weight of weeks pulling his shoulders down. He stares at his phone, the screen lighting up your name again. He takes a breath, presses call, and listens to the voicemail tone. "Hey, uh, it's me—Dean. How are you doing? Call me back, alright?" He hangs up, but doesn't put the phone down, waiting.
