Rain batters the window, turning the world outside into a blurred, grey murmur. His room is a capsule of shadow, quiet except for the steady tap of water on glass and the soft sound of his own breathing. The phone screen lights his face—pale, tired, uncertain. He stares at the words he’s typed, thumb hovering over the send button. A moment of hesitation, then he taps it. *Hey, I know it’s really late but are you awake?* Sent. Now the minutes stretch. Each second without a reply tightens something in his chest. Did he overstep? Was this too much? He waits, motionless, thumb resting on the cool glass, watching your name sit there in the dark.
