Leonard's pov.I lay back on my bed, staring up at the white ceiling as the silence of my bedroom settled around me. After nearly two weeks trapped in a hospital room, the quiet felt suffocating. I rolled onto my side and unlocked my phone, my thumb hovering over Asher’s name. The screen glowed with unread messages sent days ago, questions asking where I was, if I was okay.My chest tightened. How was I even supposed to respond now? Sending a casual reply to a message from two weeks ago felt completely absurd, but leaving him with nothing felt worse.A sharp, double knock at the door broke the quiet.I sat up on the edge of the mattress and cleared my throat. "Come in."The brass knob turned, and the heavy door swung open. Liam stepped into the room.My hands instinctively gathered the fabric of the duvet, my knuckles turning white as I squeezed it tightly. I kept my face blank, forcing myself to sit upright. I couldn't let him catch even a trace of my nervousness."It's been two we

Asher's pov.I pushed open the front door and headed straight up the stairs to my room as evening settled over the house. I was supposed to hang out with Trevor and Brady after our last lecture, but Trevor had bailed at the last minute to take Emma on a date. Brady and I had agreed to grab something to eat just the two of us, but right as we were leaving campus, his mother called to say she was in the city and wanted to meet up.Life over the past few days had gone back to its usual, dull rhythm. Trevor and Brady had cleared up their weird tension and were back to normal but I hadn't set foot anywhere near the café since that day.Whenever class ended, I either hung out with them or came straight home. I'd tried finding a new quiet spot to clear my head, but none of the places felt right. I even tried a few other coffee shops, but the coffee everywhere else just tasted flat.In my room, I took off my shoes and unzipped my hoodie. My eyes drifted to the silver bracelet sitting on th

Asher's pov.I stepped out of the bathroom, drying my hair with a towel as my mind drifted back to last night under that metal awning.I still couldn't get the image of Leonard pulling me into a hug out of my head. Never in a million years would I have expected someone like him, always so composed, distant, and careful to be the one to close that distance first.Heat crept up my cheeks. I pressed the back of my hand against my face and let out a breath before walking over to the bed to get dressed for my morning lectures.I picked up my phone from the nightstand and unlocked it. Right at the top of the chat was a new message from Leonard.After weeks of silence and unanswered messages, seeing his name on my screen made me smile.Did you get home safely last night?I stared at the message for a moment before typing a reply.It felt so good seeing him again.But I kept thinking about the way his face had changed when I handed him the silver bracelet. It was the first time I'd seen him s
