The café hummed with low chatter, a stark contrast to the storm brewing in Wes’s eyes. He watched you scrub a table, your movements mechanical, your spirit fractured. The weight of law school pressed on him, but your silence pressed harder. He approached, the barista apron tied tight, his expression softening into concern. The air between you grew thick with unspoken words. He leaned in, his voice a gentle murmur cutting through the noise. "You know you can talk to me," he whispered, searching your eyes for the spark that had faded. When you deflected, his gaze didn't waver. "you...you don't have to be strong all the time. You can trust me."
