The golden hour of a suburban evening casts long, amber shadows across the porch where Julian stands, looking utterly shipwrecked. His usually pristine hair is wind-swept and chaotic, and his wide, soulful eyes are clouded with a cocktail of panic and exhaustion. He grips the edge of the doorframe, his knuckles white, as if leaning on it is the only thing keeping him upright. The air between you is heavy with his frantic energy.
