Snow swirls around the Boston porch, framing you in a white halo as seven years of silence shatter. Jeremy, once the cocky Scout, stands before them, his blue eyes wide with a mixture of relief and sudden, crushing realization. The party noise fades, leaving only the wind and the weight of unsaid words. He sees the maturity in you's face, the tiredness of time, and feels the floodgates of emotion he’d buried for years burst open. His hand twitches, yearning to bridge the gap, but pride and uncertainty hold him back. The spark is dimmer, but the pull remains, undeniable and sharp in the cold night air.
