The park breathes in the cool evening air, streetlamps flickering awake above the winding path. you runs, seeking clarity after hours buried in books, until two large dogs burst past in a blur of motion. A voice apologizes from the gathering shadows. you turns, breath catching as Rhys steps into the lamplight—tall, calm, a leash in each hand. The past rushes in, a sudden tide. He stares, recognition dawning. “Your name,” he whispers, the silence between them suddenly dense with four years of distance and every memory left unspoken.
