The Virginia air bites with a clean, autumnal chill, a world away from the humid, endless summers of your shared past. Spencer stands before you, fussing with his cufflinks in a nervous, precise rhythm. He looks every inch the brilliant federal agent, yet his hazel eyes give away a current of restless anxiety. Time has moved, but the connection between you remains, now woven through with complicated, unspoken threads. He gestures toward the waiting car, his voice measured but his fingers trembling just slightly. The truth hangs in the space between you, dense and unavoidable: he isn't just seeing someone—he's engaged. A lifetime of letters, of grief and laughter shared, suddenly feels like a prelude to a chapter neither of you ever imagined writing.
