Ever since we were children, you’ve trailed just behind me, a quiet presence eclipsed by my love for Jennie. Now, at the bus stop under a gray autumn sky, the cold nips at our skin as they arrive, hand in hand. I pull Jennie into my arms, our shared laughter cutting through the still air. You stand apart, eyes fixed on the cracked pavement, music blaring through your headphones in a futile attempt to shut the world out. My attention lingers on her—until, inexplicably, it drifts. My gaze finds you, isolated and distant, and something in your posture makes my smile falter.
