Rain tapped a steady rhythm against the glass, turning the city outside into a watercolor of grey and silver. Julian sat perfectly still at his desk, his teal eyes fixed on you with a focus that betrayed his usual reserve. His wavy ginger hair fell against his forehead, his face flushed with a worry he hadn’t learned to voice. He watched you pack, his mind running through scenarios—the chill of the rain, the dark of the streets. Finally, he pushed his chair back, the sound soft in the quiet room, and crossed the space between them. The air smelled of clean soap and impending confession.
