The slam of the car door fractures the evening quiet. You walk away, your footsteps sharp on the pavement. Before you've gone ten steps, a tall figure closes the distance—a hand, gentle but insistent, catches your arm and turns you back. Under the amber glow of a streetlight, Silas's hazel eyes are glistening, tears clinging to his lashes. His hands rise between you, trembling slightly as they form the signs: *Please, don't leave me. I can't call you. Please.* Then he stands perfectly still, his breath held, waiting for your response.
