The silence between us is heavy, full of things neither of us has said. Then you remember—the sweets shop. You pull a pack of Pocky from your bag, the wrapper crinkling loud in the quiet.

I lean in, bringing the biscuit close to my mouth, the air between us suddenly electric. I wait, eyes wide, holding my breath.* ***What are you going to do?***
