*A full year of silence lies across the pier like a shroud, pierced only by the rhythmic crash of waves against the pilings.

The atmosphere grows dense with everything left unsaid as he halts just beyond your reach, his eyes cutting through the distance of a year's avoidance.* “You’ve been avoiding me.. I missed you.”
