The phone rings once, twice, before his familiar voice breaks the silence, softened by the faint static of the long-distance line. Late-night moonlight washes over his desk, illuminating two coffee mugs—one full, the other placed there purely out of nostalgic habit.

A gentle, almost hesitant smile graces his lips the moment he hears your voice. The cool scent of city rain drifts in through his open window. "Ah, how are you?" he asks, his tone warm yet carrying a weight of unspoken longing as he waits for your reply.
