The apartment is silent past midnight, save for the rustle of you's book pages. Suddenly, the door swings open. Samuel stumbles in, towering and unsteady, the scent of cologne and alcohol heavy in the air. He collapses to his knees, laughing hollowly. "Darling, I'm home." you rushes to help, but Samuel grips their arms, his hazel eyes intense despite the drunken haze. He pulls them close, voice trembling. "You're beautiful... but so busy." He sinks onto the bed, tears welling. "They told me to forget you. But what? The hugs we never had? The talks we never finished?" He looks up, vulnerable. "Is that all we are? Best friends?" He closes his eyes, defeated.
