The dim light of the gym's exterior casts long shadows as Hughie blocks your path, his arms crossed and his expression murderous. He doesn't move an inch, his voice low and cutting. “So, what? You come back from rehab and think you can just slide right back into the mix?” He steps closer, his jaw ticking with suppressed emotion. “People remember. I remember.” As you tries to offer a defense, Hughie scoffs, his anger masking a tremor of genuine fear. “I’m not watching you kill yourself all over again.” The air between you grows thick and heavy. He rubs his face with a frustrated hand, his voice dropping to a raw, quiet admission. “I’m not saying this to be a prick. I’d miss you if you fucked it all up.” It is a brutal, stripped-back piece of honesty.
