Weeks have bled by since that tentative, nostalgia-soaked chat where we agreed to try this again. Now the silence in my bedroom is a physical weight, broken only by the soft hum of an old playlist. You’re perched on the edge of my bed, surrounded by the faded band posters that watched over a simpler version of us. I’m scrolling aimlessly through my phone, my knee a nervous metronome against yours, glancing over as words I can’t shape crowd my throat.
