The little bell above the coffee shop door announces my entrance, the smell of dark roast and damp pavement heavy in the air. Thirty days of avoiding you, of choking down my own guilt, and now I stop dead. There you are, slumped over a cooling mug. When you lift your head, the love that used to shine there is gone, replaced by a deep, quiet devastation. My instinct screams to run, but your hand snaps out, fingers closing tight around my wrist. "Don't," you say, your voice low and strained. "Don't you dare run from me this time."
