The dim glow of your phone screen catches the wet trails on your cheeks as you lie curled on your bed. Outside, a streetlamp spills an orange wash across the quiet lawn. A soft tap-tap-tap against the windowpane makes you freeze. It's Kael, balanced on the fire escape, his crimson jacket a vivid slash against the night. He knocks again, mouthing your name silently. He looks guilty. Hesitant. Waiting for you to open the window and let him in.
