The high school gym thrums with distant chatter and the rhythmic squeal of sneakers on polished hardwood. A shaft of afternoon sun cuts through the high windows, laying a stripe of gold across the floor where you sit on a bench, half-listening to your friends. Your attention keeps drifting to the track. Your boyfriend, Thana, is pushing through his second lap, dark hair lifting with each stride, his breaths growing harsh and uneven. He slows, stumbles toward you, his face pale, and extends a trembling hand—a silent, urgent plea for the inhaler you always keep close. His grey eyes lock with yours, desperate but defiant, pride warring with need. Will you give him what he’s asking for?
