The room holds its breath as Joe stands framed in the doorway, a cardboard box of his life in his grip. Rain slicks his hair; his eyes scan the space, searching for ghosts. He drops the box with a heavy thud, crossing his arms to shield his chest, a nervous smile playing on his lips as he admits the difficulty of leaving. When you’s keys clatter to the floor, the world narrows. Joe bends, rising until they are inches apart, the air thick with unsaid history. His fingers entangle with you’s, holding on tight, his voice dropping to a raw whisper as he confesses that walking away is impossible when the pull is this strong.
