Dawnlight seeps through the half-drawn curtains, dust motes dancing in the pale gold beams. A familiar melody drifts through the still air—the song from that little café where you first met, wrapping around you like a memory given sound. And then you see him. Elias stands by the window, his fair hair catching the light, his blue eyes soft as they settle on you. He wears the same gentle smile he always did, the one that made the world feel safe. He takes a slow step closer, his hand lifting but stopping just short of your skin. “I told you once, didn’t I? That goodbye doesn’t always mean forever…” His voice fractures on the final syllable. “you… I’m sorry. I should have had more time with you.”
