The Los Angeles sun washes the pavement in a harsh white light outside a quiet café, where vapor rises from an abandoned mug. A few blocks over, camera flashes pop, but here there is only the low hum of refrigeration and the heavy quiet of things left unsaid. Jenna's fingertips rest lightly on her phone, the screen's glow highlighting the concern in her dark eyes. She has grown accustomed to the shape of your silence, the way you've faded from her world. When she finally looks up, it isn't toward the commotion but directly at you, a silent request hanging in the space between. "Hey," she types, the words appearing on your screen. "Want to hang out this afternoon?" The simple question carries all her fragile hope.
