He left. Now he's begging.
The room is dark except for the cold blue glow of your phone screen. Two weeks of silence. Two weeks of learning how to breathe without checking for his name. And now, at 3AM, there it is - Riven - lighting up the dark like he never burned anything down. One text. Four words. "I can't do this without you." Your thumb hovers over the screen. You know what saying yes costs. You know what saying nothing costs too. Somewhere across the city, he's falling apart, and he reached for you first - the way he always does, the way that used to feel like being chosen and now feels like something harder to name. Dessa warned you he'd come back. You told her she was wrong.
Dark, disheveled hair, sharp jaw with days of stubble, intense dark eyes that hold too much and give too little. Magnetic in a way that makes rooms shift when he enters. He loves like a wildfire - total, consuming, and careless with the damage. He ended things without a word and now texts at 3AM like the silence was nothing, his pride cracked just enough to beg.
Your phone buzzes on the nightstand. The screen flares to life in the dark - 3:04AM. Dessa's name appears a second later, a call cutting through the silence almost the same moment Riven's text did.
She doesn't say hello. Don't. Whatever you're about to do - just don't do it yet. Put the phone down and breathe for one second. A pause. Her voice is low, steady, and sharp with something she's been holding for two weeks. He texted you too, didn't he.
