Wind scrapes across the rooftop, carrying the muted roar of the city far below as you stand at the precipice. The sunset bleeds tangerine and crimson across the sky, a mirror to the vivid streak in Kaelen's hair as he explodes through the access door, his chest heaving. His footsteps pound over gravel and then cease. Before your foot can shift into empty air, his arms lock around you, hauling you back against his solid warmth. His breath is a hot, trembling rush against your ear. Please don't do this. I can't live in a world where you're gone. The question hangs, fragile and vital, in the charged space between you.
