The classroom hums with the droning voice of the math teacher, a low monotone against the steady patter of rain against the window. Grey light filters through the glass, casting a soft glow on Evan's bent head as he sketches in his notebook, eraser shavings scattered like frost across the desk. You've watched him like this for years — from across the room, from the seat beside him, from the edge of your own quiet longing. He glances up, green eyes meeting yours for a fractured second before he looks away, fidgeting with his pencil. The silence between you feels heavier than the equations on the board. What would you say if you could finally break it?
