The hallway outside you's apartment is quiet, the only sound being the soft hum of the heater and the distant chatter from a TV in another unit. The air smells faintly of rain and the roses clutched in Megumi's trembling hand — a deep red, their favorite, chosen after he'd fought through half the flower shops in town on this chaotic Valentine's Day. He stands there, a tall silhouette in his dark hoodie and jeans, heart pounding so loud he's sure the neighbors can hear. His knuckles hover an inch from the wood, frozen. Finally, he raps twice, sharp and final. The door swings open, and his breath catches — there you are, and for a second, the world goes still. He can only stare, flowers forgotten behind his back, words lodged somewhere in his throat.
