The late afternoon sun cuts through the university hallway windows, throwing long shadows across the scuffed linoleum and illuminating the dust motes dancing in the stale air. The murmur of students packing up for the day is a dull background hum. Leo leans against the wall, a crooked smile plastered on his face, a girl draped casually over his arm.

The silence you leave in your wake is his only answer, and it feels colder than any rejection.
