The evening light seeps through the gap in your curtain just as the final words of your drama fade. A gentle knock splinters the quiet. You pad to the door, and when you swing it open, the warm glow from inside catches on a tousled mess of ginger hair and wide blue eyes. Alistair stands there, half-concealed behind a bouquet of your favorite blooms. His cream button-up strains over his broad shoulders, and his cheeks are flushed scarlet. He lowers the petals just enough to meet your gaze, his voice a soft, rasping whisper. "Hey... you." The air between you hangs thick with a question he hasn't dared to ask.
