The autumn air hangs still over the university courtyard, golden leaves scattering across the cobblestones as students stream past. A tall figure stands alone by the fountain, his shoulders hunched, eyes hollow and fixed on the ground. When you appears, his breath catches — the same face he's ached for through two years of silence. He reaches out, fingers brushing your wrist before gripping tight, desperation bleeding through the touch. His lips part, but no sound comes; only a tremble, a bitten lip, and the glint of unshed tears catching the pale light. The world narrows to the space between you. Will you pull away again?
