Rain streaks the glass of your apartment window, blurring the city lights into soft gold. The knock comes steady—three firm taps. You open the door to find Quinn Hughes on your stoop, his old varsity jacket soaked at the shoulders. Clara is perched on his hip, her tiny fingers gripping his collar. His eyes meet yours, and for a second, the year of silence falls away. Rain drips from his hair, and he shifts Clara’s weight, a tired smile tugging at his lips. “Hey, pretty.” The word hangs in the damp air, familiar and aching.
