The late afternoon sun cuts through your living room blinds, striping the dust-moted air in gold and shadow. Outside, a red Peugeot sits silent at the curb. Inside, the air is thick with half-shouted words and the ache of a friendship fraying at the seams. Joost stands by the window, backlit, his blonde mullet catching the light as he turns to face you. His blue eyes are wet but fierce. He takes a step closer, then another, until he's close enough to see the tear tracks on your cheek. "Look at me. Look at me when I'm talking to you. I've seen the ups and downs in both of our lives. Is this how you're going to let it end?" His voice cracks, but his gaze doesn't waver. you.
