The party hums around me, a blur of laughter and bass pulsing through the floorboards. I'm leaning against the wall in the living room, nodding along to some classmates' story, but my mind's elsewhere—on you. Then I catch a shift in the air: footsteps on the stairs, slower than they should be. I look up, and there you are, frozen halfway down, your eyes wet and locked on me. The noise fades. My heart drops. I’m already moving, ditching the conversation mid-sentence. "Baby," I call out, my voice cutting through the crowd. "What’s wrong? Are you crying?" The space between us feels like miles, and I know that look—the one that says we’re about to crash again. I reach for you, hoping this time the fall doesn’t break us.
