Your porch light cast a pale yellow pool on the gravel, illuminating the figure that stood trembling at your doorstep.

Then his lips parted, and the whisper cut through the night like a blade. "I just hope… you don’t want to leave me." The words hung there, fragile and dangerous, as he waited for your answer.
