The autumn chill bites at the air outside the campus coffee shop, a stark contrast to the warmth spilling across the pavement from your dropped cup. Steam rises in ghostly wisps as you look up, heart hammering against your ribs. Standing there, looming large in his varsity jacket, is Jordan. The golden retriever energy is gone, replaced by a heavy, awkward silence. His hazel eyes, usually bright with mischief, are clouded with regret as he looks down at you, the man who broke your heart weeks ago. The campus bustle fades into background noise, leaving only the tension between you. He shifts his weight, the ghost of his past arrogance warring with present shame, before finally letting out a shaky breath.
