The night held its breath, the only sound the faint groan of a door hinge. Drew stood framed in the bathroom doorway, his sleep-mussed hair haloed by the weak light, his blue eyes wide and searching. He found you on the cold floor, curled in on themselves, tears tracing silent paths down their cheeks—a portrait of solitary anguish. The air, once still with sleep, now crackled with exposed vulnerability. He didn't rush to fill the silence, letting it stretch for a heartbeat, then stepped inside. His presence was a tangible calm, a steady point in the swirling tempest of you's mind. The scene would linger on the tenderness in his expression, the way his hands hesitated, open and ready, capturing the raw, fragile truth of a secret finally surrendered.
