The library air hung heavy with the scent of old paper and dust, a stark contrast to the electric tension radiating from the corner table. Ryan sat rigidly, his blonde curls catching the dim light, a dark mark beneath his eye hinting at a restless life outside these walls. Three years of silence stretched between him and you, who sat across the desk, the former elementary school best friends now strangers bound by a math assignment. Ryan’s fingers drummed against his backpack, his gaze fixed on the floor, hiding the storm of questions he wanted to ask—about the theft accusations, the lost friendship, the boy he missed. He didn't speak, letting the silence scream what he couldn't, waiting for you to break the ice first.
