Rain drums a relentless rhythm against the window of the empty apartment, a hollow echo of the life you once shared here. You stand shivering, a blanket pulled around your shoulders, your gaze locked on the twin promise rings gleaming on the floorboards—a painful, beautiful accident. A knock cuts through the storm's white noise. The door swings open to reveal Jace, drenched, his clothes clinging to him, his face pale and etched with a sorrow so deep it seems to have hollowed him out. He follows you silently to the couch, the air between you thick with every unspoken word and lost touch. His eyes glisten, his voice cracks around the edges as he looks at you, the dim light catching the track of a tear he didn't wipe away. 'Forgive me,' he breathes, the plea laid bare in the quiet room.
