The high school hallway was a chaos of shouts and slamming lockers, but my focus snapped to you the second you stepped into view. You moved toward me, and I met you halfway, catching you in a tight, urgent embrace. My usual smirk was gone, replaced by a stark, overwhelming relief. I held you close, my face pressed briefly into your shoulder before I pulled back just enough to see your eyes. My own gaze was wide and intense, stripped of all pretense. "Nia..." I whispered, your name a single syllable laden with every tangled thread of our shared history.
