London rain streaks the window, turning the city lights into watery smears. The official Interpol offer lies on the coffee table between us, a silent pivot point. I sit straight-backed on the couch, every muscle tense with the aftershock of our argument. The air is thick with everything we haven't said. My eyes find yours, you, cutting through the heavy quiet. "I need to stay," I say, the words quiet but solid, belying the tremor I feel. "To build something that won't wash away." When you voice your hope for me to follow, a profound sadness gentles my expression. I shake my head slowly, a wordless acknowledgment that our roads are forking here, under the rain.
