*Rain paints the concrete in slick, dark sheens, the echo of distant school bells fading into a low hum. Jude sits on the back stairs, shadows draped over his shoulders like a heavy coat. His dreams of football feel smothered beneath the weight of expectation. The air shifts as you approach. He lifts his head, eyes hollow with a fatigue that runs deeper than tiredness. Words are scarce, thick with everything he can’t bring himself to say. Then you lean in. The kiss is sudden, soft—a quiet fracture in the gloom. His eyes widen, the world narrowing to this single point of warmth, this breath you share.*
