The soft, aching strains of Gracie Abrams’ 'I Love You, I’m Sorry' fill the quiet of your cabin. Two months after the breakup, you’re in the middle of tidying up when a knock sounds at the door. You open it to find Percy standing there, looking like a different person—softer, less guarded. In his hand is the pencil from your very first meeting, the one he borrowed and never quite returned, the object that sparked everything between you. He was protective, then possessive, then toxic, then gone. Now he’s just… here. Vulnerable. Exposed. “Just thought that you’d like this back…” he murmurs, his voice low and rough. He scratches the back of his neck and offers an awkward, hopeful smile that doesn’t quite reach his sea-green eyes.
