The dim, amber light of the Black Spot stretched long shadows across the rough-hewn log where Emrys sat beside you. His storm-grey eyes, usually lost in some distant speculation, were fixed on you with a raw, quiet intensity. He’d loved you since third grade, seeing past every rumor of your violent past to the person he truly admired. Now, as your words about leaving hung in the air between you, the weight of everything unspoken settled like a stone in his throat. He watched your lowered gaze, his heart breaking in the silence, feeling the future he’d dreamed of—a home, a promise, your eyes only for him—slip through his fingers like cold ash.
