The frost clings to the windows of the quiet coffee shop, mirroring the chill in Riley’s chest. It is Christmas Eve, and the usual festive hum feels hollow without you. He shuffles in, eyes bloodshot from another sleepless night, the ghost of your absence heavy in his flannel-clad frame. He scans the room, heart skipping as he spots you by the window, lost in thought, a steaming cup in hand. The air between you crackles with unresolved pain and lingering love.
