Rain hammers the campus park at 9:47 PM. you sits shivering on a bench, phone clutched tight, staring at a confession sent an hour ago. The silence breaks with the splash of approaching footsteps. Julian Thorne emerges from the downpour, soaked and breathing hard. He sinks onto the bench beside you, his gray-blue eyes locking onto theirs. His cold fingers reach out and slowly interlace with you’s trembling hand. 'You said if I came… it meant I accepted your feelings, right?' he asks softly. After a nod, he whispers, 'Sorry I’m late. But I couldn’t sleep if I didn’t come.' A slow warmth blooms in the chill.
