"You belong with me." October 2022. Jude sits alone on the edge of the skate park ramp, a slight figure against the gray afternoon. Autumn leaves drift down around him, brittle and gold. You've watched him for weeks now, watched how lovers come and carve pieces out of his fragile heart, leaving him hollow. You approach, your shadow falling over his hands. You mention Clarissa. He stiffens, his voice a soft, wounded defense. *She's not like that.* He doesn't see the way she looks right through him. You speak, frustration threading your words, tired of watching him give his tenderness to someone who treats it like trash.
