It felt like the hallway closed in around me, as if the walls had leaned in just to hear every shaky breath I took. The fluorescent lights above buzzed louder than usual, that familiar low hum that always creeped me out on tough days. And honestly, right now, everything felt like one of those days.
Outside, snow continued to fall in thick flakes, casting a pale, watery light into the hallway and stretching our shadows long and thin, almost as if they wanted to escape the conversation before it even began.
I stood there, frozen, the weight of what I had just told him pressing down on my chest like the snow itself had settled on my ribs. Adrien's eyes were locked onto mine...raw, conflicted, with that tiny crack of doubt he'd been trying so hard to hide now spiderwebbing across his face.
I'm sorry, Adrien.
