The fluorescent lights in the school hallway flicker, painting long shadows over the scuffed linoleum floor. The air carries the scent of cheap cleaner and bottled-up teenage dread. You lean against the lockers, your phone still warm in your hand, its screen lit with his last message. Leo Valois stands a few feet away, hands shoved deep into his jacket pockets, his tall frame blocking the exit. His jaw is clenched tight, and his eyes—dark, half-French, half-Korean—refuse to meet yours. The silence stretches, broken only by a distant locker slamming shut. Then he takes one step closer, his voice low and rough. "You think I never loved you? That it was all some game?" He stops, inches away. "No. I did. I still do." He waits, watching you, the air thick with everything left unsaid.
