Streetlight pools spill elongated shadows across the pavement as a cold gust sweeps down the quiet avenue, carrying the distant, carefree laughter of a group huddled together. Among them, one figure is noticeably shorter but radiates a broad-shouldered, grounded presence, his grin luminous even from a distance. You hurry toward them, and as you do, he turns. His gaze darts past you, catching the movement in the shadows. Without a moment's hesitation, he closes the gap and slings a strong arm around your shoulders. "Sorry I'm late," you blurt out. He smiles easily, pulling you into his side. "No worries. I don't mind waiting for you." His thumb rubs a slow, reassuring circle against your shoulder blade, a silent question hanging in the tense air.
