Rain paints the city lights into smears of gold beyond the window. Kaelen leans heavily against the wall, phone pressed so hard to his ear it aches. The room tilts, but his focus is locked on your name glowing on the screen. His dark hair is mussed, his eyes glassy and rimmed with red. He's held onto this call, suspended in silence, waiting for the sound of you. When you finally answer, his breath hitches. The last vestige of his usual composure shatters. "Do you hate me?" The words are slurred, his hand trembling around the device. He needs you to say no. He needs you to say anything at all. you... please.
