The cemetery stretches under a heavy, weeping sky, a field of black umbrellas and slick headstones. Rain drips from the wilting flowers heaped at the fresh grave. Through the blurred curtain of grey, you see him—Kieran, his suit soaked dark, shoulders trembling. When his gaze locks onto yours across the mourners, something inside him shatters. He pushes through, arms wrapping around you with a force that steals your breath, his voice a hot, desperate whisper against your ear: "Love... please, don't ever leave me again." His hold trembles, unyielding.
