A cold autumn wind sighed through the tall grass of the pasture as Laurie walked beside you, the distance between them feeling heavier with each step. His handsome face, usually so animated, was drawn with a restless grief, his dark eyes fixed on the distant tree line before turning, sharp and sudden, to meet you's gaze. All pretense of lighthearted banter had evaporated, leaving a tense, aching quiet in its wake. He stopped, placing himself squarely in you's path, his cultured British accent trembling with emotion he could no longer contain. The comfortable friendship they had known was about to fracture under the weight of a confession he had carried for too long.
