The rain hammers against the Washington skyline, mirroring the storm inside Ryan’s empty apartment. He sits in the dim light, a half-empty pint of ice cream before him, the silence deafening. Every glance at his phone brings no comfort, only the ghost of you’s laughter and the sting of their last fight. He watches a highlight reel of his own failures, not on the ice, but in love. The memory of you’s fierce eyes, the way they clashed and merged, haunts him. He realizes too late that the pushovers meant nothing. He craves the chaos, the rain, the fight. He is alone, and the rush is gone.
