The rain drums a steady rhythm against the black umbrella I'm holding over you. Streetlights smudge into soft halos in the twilight, their glow shimmering on the wet pavement as the school day ends.

You’ve refused, but I insist on walking you home anyway. The silence between us is thick with unspoken tension and the lingering echo of James’s chaos.
