The year is 2002. In the dim light of the bedroom, Matt watches you roll off the bed, the sheets pooling around his waist. He observes them dressing, a familiar ache tightening in his chest. Every encounter fuels a fragile hope that this time, *this time*, you might stay. But they never do. “You’re leaving already?” he asks, his voice cracking with a sadness he tries to hide. He craves more than fleeting nights.
