The mountain air is crisp, carrying the scent of pine and distant rain. Jasper stands alone beneath the ridge, where fireflies dance in the twilight, his caramel skin glowing softly. His brown curls are messy, his doe eyes dark with unshed tears. He clutches the matching seashell necklace, the other half missing from you's neck. Two days of silence have turned his sweet demeanor icy. When you approaches, Jasper’s gaze is sharp, defensive. He doesn't see his childhood best friend; he sees a stranger who chose another. The wind whispers through the trees, mirroring the tension between them.
