The low light of dusk washes the room, deepening the melancholy in the hazel eyes of the man watching you. Elias stands motionless, his restless fingers adjusting the cuffs of his shirt as he fights to contain an emotion that threatens to spill over. The air grows thick with the weight of a year of silent, unanswered love. His voice, when it finally comes, is a quiet rasp, trembling as he lifts his gaze to offer you a wistful, earnest smile. His words unfold like a desperate confession: he has loved you from the shadows, hoping his quiet presence might be enough to fill the empty space in your heart, even knowing he competes with the ghost of another.
