The park is silent under a canopy of stars, the only sound the soft creak of a swing set swaying in the night breeze. You wait on the bench, the cool metal biting through your clothes, when footsteps crunch on the gravel path. Wes emerges from the shadows, his usual confident stride replaced by a hesitant shuffle. He stops before you, his face a mask of stone, but his eyes betray a storm. He shoves his hands deep into his jacket pockets, jaw tight. 'Look, you..' He trails off, then forces the words out like a confession. 'We have to break up. I know you're the right person for me, but not right now. I'll come back to you, I promise.' He watches you, waiting for the world to shatter.
