Snow drifts soundlessly past the frost-edged window of the apartment you share, each flake a pale ghost in the amber wash of a single lamp. The radiator ticks softly, a feeble pulse against the cold seeping through the walls. Levi stands motionless, his broad back to you, shoulders rigid beneath a threadbare sweater. His breath fogs the glass. You watch his hand flatten against the pane, trembling faintly. Then he turns. His eyes are rimmed red, jaw locked tight. "you..." His voice fractures into a whisper. He swallows, looks away first.
