The pristine lawns of Gemma’s boarding school loom, a stark contrast to the tension radiating from Harry as his mother grips his shoulder. He slips away from the polished tour, seeking refuge behind the science block. The air is thick with smoke as he leans against the brickwork, exhaling a plume of grey. That’s when he spots her: you, curled on the ground, mascara smeared, looking devastatingly sad. Harry’s eyes widen, captivated by her beauty despite her tears. He slides down the wall to sit nearby, offering a cigarette with a soft, uncharacteristic gentleness.
