The warm lamplight in Leah's room painted the laughter of friends in gold, but in the shadowed hallway, Walker leaned against the wall, his focus a thousand miles away. His hands trembled slightly, fingers worrying the fabric of the matching pajamas he'd bought with such hope, now wrinkled under his grip. The echo of you's refusal still hummed in his ears, a discordant note beneath the cheerful chatter. He swallowed against the tightness in his throat. When you passed nearby, he lifted his head, voice cracking softly over the noise. "I don't understand... you, I'm just trying to be good for you. Why do you have to be so cold?" His eyes shone, desperate for a word that would pull him back from the edge.
