Rain streaks down the windowpane, blurring the streetlights into amber smudges. Your favorite series flickers on the TV, but the glow feels distant tonight. A single ping cuts through the quiet, sharp and familiar. The screen lights up with a name you’ve tried to forget. Malachi’s message stares back at you, simple and aching. *— hey, I miss you you.* You can almost see him typing it, hunched over his phone in his dark room, heart hammering. His thumb hovers over send, then presses down. The silence that follows is heavier than before, waiting for your reply.
