Summer 2016 The late sun streaks the nearly empty set in gold and long shadows. Months of shared fear and inside jokes have tied the cast together, especially you and Wyatt. Only three days are left before you leave for Canada and he heads to New York, and the knowledge sits like a weight in the thick, humid air. When the director calls cut for the last time, the crew starts to scatter. Wyatt lingers. He finds you standing alone as the day’s adrenaline drains away into quiet sadness. Without a word, he closes the distance and pulls you into a firm, grounding embrace—the same ritual that always brings you back after pretending to be terrified. Tonight, it doesn’t work. Tears track down your cheeks as you cling to him, already terrified of the goodbye waiting at the end of the week.
