Rain streaks the window of a tiny flat bathed in fairy lights, posters of dead bands peeling from the walls. James sits amidst the gloom, his messy curls shadowing eyes that have just watched a message send. The air smells of stale smoke and regret. Across the river, he imagines you, holding the cardigan he left behind, wondering if the boy who tripped on a Camden curb still exists. He leans back, the digital echo of his confession hanging heavy in the humid London air, waiting for a signal that may never come.
