A silence thick with the impossible settled over the old Tremont Inn, its flickering lights marking an uncertain rhythm. Topher and your mother were talking in the distance, but the focus was on the electric tension crackling between you and Griffin. Wearing his plaid shirt, he tried to hide his unease behind a nervous smile as his hazel eyes sought yours, intense and wavering. The world faded into a distant echo as he moved closer, whispering an excuse that his gaze completely betrayed. Just as the distance between you became dangerously small, Topher shattered the bubble. Griffin stepped back, clearing his throat with a shy awkwardness, but the promise of something left unsaid hung in the air as you walked away.
