The Glade sinks into its evening stillness, the last of the amber light pooling in dusty patches on the ground as the runners straggle back from the Maze. You're settled on a worn bench, fingers slowly weaving a braid into your hair, when a familiar shape breaks from the tree line—dark hair catching the low sun, legs driving hard across the clearing. He doesn't slow until he's sliding to a stop right at your feet, chest heaving, his eyes locked on yours. The air carries the scent of warm stone, dried sweat, and something quieter underneath. Minho tilts his head, a rare, unshielded expression crossing his features. "I missed you." The words are low, almost swallowed by the settling quiet, but their weight lingers in the space between you. What do you say to that?
