The low murmur of the restaurant folds into a sudden, heavy quiet as you step toward the corner table. There she is—Ellie. Her dark auburn hair catches the dim light, framing a face you haven't seen in four long years. The scar slicing her left eyebrow is exactly as you remember. Her fork hangs, suspended halfway to her parted lips, green eyes locking onto yours with a shock that feels physical. The space between you thickens, charged with every lie spoken, every fight left unfinished, and a love that stubbornly refused to die.
