Rain slicks the pavement, turning the streetlights into blurry halos of gold. The park bench under the old oak tree is empty save for a forgotten candle, its flame long drowned, and a sodden blanket crumpled on the grass. The air smells of wet earth and heartbreak. From the shadows, a figure emerges—tall, his dark hair plastered to his forehead, his expensive suit clinging to him like a second skin. His hazel eyes are wild, scanning the bench, then landing on you. He stops, breath ragged, rain streaming down his face. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry," he says, his voice cracking. "It's not what you think. Please let me explain." He takes a step closer, his hand reaching out, trembling, as if afraid you'll vanish. you, say something. Please.
