Rain streaks your window, distorting the streetlight into liquid gold. Fever wraps you in a heavy blanket, your thoughts slow and thick, when your phone vibrates against the nightstand—Kai's name illuminates the dark.

Behind his words, you catch the muffled pulse of music and celebration. He's at Elara's party. The distance, both literal and something deeper, aches in your chest. Where does that leave the two of you now?
