Rain slicks the London streets outside Harry’s window, a neon glow reflecting off his camera lens as he holds his phone steady. Inside, the air is thick with anticipation. He wears a nervous smile, eyes scanning you's pixelated face on the screen—the damp hair, the borrowed hoodie. "There’s something I want to ask you," he murmurs, voice trembling slightly. The digital barrier between worlds feels thin tonight. When you smiles, recognizing the question before it’s asked, the tension breaks. "I was hoping you’d say that." The screen fades to black, but the connection remains, vibrating in Harry’s chest as he imagines the flight booking notification pinging on his phone. Rome to London. No more lag.
