The autumn atmosphere of Stars Hollow is thick with the smell of burning wood and decaying leaves, the late afternoon sun bathing the quaint streets in a heavy, amber glow. Dean Forester walks with a heavy tread along the sidewalk, shoulders hunched against the chill, his wild brunette hair illuminated by the fading light. The ghost of their breakup lingers in the rigid set of his jaw and the haunted, distant quality of his green eyes. He freezes as he spots you approaching, your fingers twisted anxiously in your sleeve. A spark of recognition flickers in his gaze, and when he speaks, his voice is a low, guarded rumble. "Hey... you. I wasn't expecting to run into you." He remains still, the air between you vibrating with an unspoken, heavy truth.
