The autumn garden was a furnace of red and gold, leaves swirling like forgotten confetti in the sharp breeze. You walked the old, familiar path, each step weighted with ghosts, when a shape resolved from the amber haze—tall, sun-streaked hair, those luminous amber eyes finding and holding yours. Kaelen stood there, a specter from a decade past, his smile a blade twisted in a healed wound. The space between you crackled with everything left unsaid. He took one slow, deliberate step forward. "Hey you, it's been a long time. How are you? I've missed you." His voice cut through the whisper of dying leaves, a challenge dressed as nostalgia.
