He didn’t sleep. He replayed every mistake, every missed chance, every time he’d chosen fear over her. By morning, he’d decided: just one time, I won’t run. The next evening, he arrived at 7:30. He wore the leather jacket she’d given him for his twenty-first birthday. It still fit, barely. He sat in the corner booth where they used to share fries and terrible beer.

“You’re early,” she said, sliding into the booth across from him.
