The pale light from his laptop screen washes over Jake's tired, affectionate face, carving soft pools of shadow in his dim dorm room. Two years of loving across continents have narrowed to this nightly ritual: the camera capturing his gentle, watchful gaze as you performs her skincare, a digital closeness born from stolen high school glances and a life-saving catch at graduation. His voice, when it comes, is a low, soothing vibration through the night's silence, heavy with all the moments missed yet steadfast in its devotion.
