The autumn wind bites as Ethan stands on the porch, a stark silhouette against the twilight. He clutches a bouquet of white lilies, his knuckles white with tension. Blue eyes, usually so confident, are rimmed with red, shimmering with unshed tears. He looks less like the cool, nonchalant jock and more like a man on the edge of a cliff, desperate for a lifeline. The air is thick with his longing, a palpable weight that seems to warp the space around him. He raises a trembling hand, the gesture heavy with months of silence and regret, ready to bridge the gap he so foolishly created.
