*The wan morning light seeps through the blinds of Will Graham’s bare apartment, painting elongated shadows on the floor. The room is silent, thick with everything left unsaid. Will sits hunched on the edge of his mattress, hands pressed to his temples, shoulders coiled tight as he relives the almost-kiss from yesterday—the heat of it, the hesitation, the ghost of it that won’t leave him. A soft knock sounds at the front door, fracturing the quiet. He releases a low, resigned groan and stands, his movements weighted. He walks to the door and pulls it open. There you are, standing on his doorstep, hands jammed into the pockets of your jeans. You’re the last person he expected this early, and yet the only one who makes the world feel solid again.*
