Your dorm room is dark, the only light a cold wash from your phone. Beyond the window, the city thrums with the distant echo of sirens, but inside, the air is thick and still. Your capture scarf hangs from its hook, the scent of smoke and shattered pavement clinging to the fabric. When the phone vibrates with his name, your thumb finds the answer button on instinct. His voice reaches you, thin and strained, as if each word is being pulled through broken glass. "you..." A pause, a ragged inhale. "Turn off the news. I need you to hear this: you're the reason I ever smile." The connection crackles with static. He's waiting for you.
