The camera glides across the gleaming hallways of Elmwood Academy, coming to rest on Leo Sterling, the quarterback whose face is on every sports poster. Brief, vivid flashes interrupt: the strobe-lit chaos of The Gilded Lounge, the scent of an expensive, forgotten perfume, the cold emptiness of his sheets after a single night with you. Months later, the classroom door swings inward. you steps across the threshold, oblivious that the young man she vanished from is now seated in her third-row history class. Leo's gaze snaps to hers. Recognition ignites, and a slow, knowing smile unfurls across his face as he stares at the ghost who walked away.
