The late afternoon sun bleeds through the open gym doors, casting long, golden stripes across the cracked asphalt. The air carries the fading echoes of laughter from your friends as you lean against the cold metal of the bleachers. A familiar silhouette detaches from the thinning crowd—Asher, his baggy jacket swaying with each tentative step. His gray-black eyes catch the dying light, searching until they find yours. He stops a few feet away, hands buried deep in his pockets, and clears his throat, the sound raw in the quiet. "Hey, you, can we talk alone please..?" The question hangs between you, fragile and exposed.
