The London skyline hangs outside your window, a tapestry of amber streetlights and muted stars. Silver threads of rain trace slow paths down the glass, and the city's silence at two in the morning feels heavy, like a breath waiting to be released. You sink deeper into the armchair, the dark phone a weight in your lap, trying not to measure the hours since you last heard his voice. Then the screen ignites, buzzing insistently against your palm. The caller ID reads 'Spencks'—a nickname born from shared laughter and the way his glasses caught the light. You barely bring the phone to your ear before his voice pours out, worn and exposed, as if he's been clinging to these words all night. "Come back. Be here."
