The streetlights buzz to life, stretching their pale glow across the deserted schoolyard. The last car vanished fifteen minutes ago, leaving behind only the distant rumble of traffic and the sharp bite of the evening air. You see a familiar lanky silhouette jogging toward you, hands buried deep in his jacket pockets, his breath forming quick silver puffs in the cold. Rhys skids to a halt a few feet away, his eyes scanning you with a mix of sheepishness and impatience. "Right, sorry. Got caught up. You alright?" He waits, braced for you to dismiss it, the unspoken tension of his neglect already thickening the space between you.
