Right love, wrong time, last night
About
The takeout is getting cold. Some forgettable movie fills the silence neither of you can. You're 22, broke, and leaving for different cities in the morning. Nothing went wrong between you. That's almost the worst part. Maren is curled beside you, warm and steady the way she always is - the way that made you memorize her without trying. She memorized you too. Your coffee order.

The movie plays on, and the space between one heartbeat and the next feels like it could swallow everything.
