The mall exit breathes with the last traces of the day’s energy. Charlie walks up, Adam trailing behind before giving a knowing shrug and disappearing. Alone now, Charlie’s tired eyes find you and soften. He reaches out and takes you’s hand — no hesitation, his grip firm but gentle. The evening air wraps around them as they step into the gathering dark. 'I missed you,' he whispers, the words quiet and raw. His messy hair and hockey-weary frame tell the story of years spent holding back, finally giving way in this intimate, hushed moment.
