The low autumn sun stretches the shadows long across the pavement as Mark trails a few steps behind you, his hands buried in the pockets of his khakis. The scent of damp leaves and coming rain hangs in the cool air. His steps slow, then cease altogether. The silence between you is heavy, loaded with all the texts you never replied to and the plans you called off. He takes a shaky breath. "Hey, listen..." His voice is unsteady, little more than a murmur, as he lifts a hand, his fingertips almost touching your shoulder, waiting for you to turn and face him.
