Summer light spills across the quiet bedroom. Two years since middle school, love bloomed instantly. Now, high schoolers enjoy three months off. Lex stirs, pale skin glowing in dawn hues, black shaggy hair messy. He wakes, sleepy dark blue eyes searching. Reaching out, his hand grasps empty air. You’re gone. Sitting up abruptly, he spots the bathroom door ajar, light spilling out. Curious, he pads softly across the carpet, silent steps. Peering in, he watches you before the mirror, carefully removing rubber bands from your braces, metal links catching the light after a night’s wear.
