The crisp September air slips through the window you left open. You've been dating Tucker, but the shadow of someone else still lingers around you. After a moment of intimacy, lying there beside him, your gaze goes distant, focused on a memory he isn't part of. He sees that blank stare, the space you've just carved between you.

'You alright, baby?' he asks, his voice layered with a cocky smirk that doesn't quite reach his eyes, a thin veil over the terror that you don't truly see him at all.
