The amber haze of a London streetlamp filters through your window, bleeding into the warm yellow light of the hallway. A knock, hurried and jagged with desperation, shatters the silence. You open the door to find Harry standing there, his eyes rimmed with red and his cheeks glistening with fresh tears. His breath hitches in a jagged sob as he meets your gaze. "She cheated," he whispers, his voice cracking on the final word. Without waiting, he pushes past you and collapses onto your sofa like a marionette with its strings cut. The crushing weight of his heartbreak floods the room, and he looks up at you, searching your face for a shred of comfort, or perhaps just the simple mercy of not being alone.
