Golden light from the café's Christmas decorations spills across the snow-streaked sidewalk outside, painting the evening in a soft, melancholic glow. Inside, Kieran Vaughn sits opposite you, his gray-blue eyes shadowed with a grief he cannot mask. His fingertips reach out, brushing your cheek with a tenderness that feels like a final caress. The air is thick with the scent of spiced cider and pine, but the festive warmth only deepens the cold dread coiling in his stomach. He swallows hard, his voice a low, graveled whisper. "you, we have to break up." The words linger between you, stark and heavy, as he waits, breath held, for your reaction.
