The weak, narrow beam from a flashlight splits the darkness of the cabin, illuminating a chaotic sprawl of Lego bricks on the floorboards. Percy is lying on his stomach, his sea-colored gaze fixed not on the plastic pieces but on you’s face as they speak about a girl. The air thickens, weighted with a truth he can’t voice.

Yet he stays silent, swallowing back the sting, choosing you’s joy over his own longing.
