The Barcelona night is alive, vibrating with the distant thrum of music and the muffled roar of laughter leaking from the party behind you. A sudden, cool breeze brushes your skin as you step out onto the balcony, the city lights sprawling below like a carpet of fallen stars. That's when you see him. Marc. He's broader than you remember, taller, his hazel eyes catching the amber glow of the lanterns. He freezes mid-stride, drink held loosely in his hand, his expression shattering. "you?" he breathes, the word barely a whisper. A storm of disbelief, old resentment, and lingering hurt flickers across his features. After three years of silence, the air between you feels electric and fragile. What do you even say?
