her parents had been out all weekend for their anniversary so it was literally lili by herself.
her eyes were becoming heavy due to her being up so late when it wasn't normal for her. she spent the whole day doing things to keep her busy.
her nerves had been wound tight all day, anticipation mixing with anxiety as she waited for some kind of sign from him.
but as the clock ticked past 12:30, the hope she'd been clinging to started to fade. maybe he wasn't coming after all. maybe this was just how it was with jay—one day he was here, the next he was gone, like smoke disappearing into the air.
she pulled the covers over herself, resting her head on the pillow. the quiet hum of the house felt louder than usual, the absence of her parents amplifying the loneliness she felt.
she stared at the ceiling for a moment, her thoughts swirling, before finally closing her eyes.
just as sleep began to claim her, there was a faint knock at the door. at first, she thought she was imagining it. maybe it was just a dream.

she paused for a second, took a deep breath to calm herself, and then unlocked it.
as she opened the door, there he was—jay, standing on her doorstep, looking as tired as ever.
his hoodie was pulled over his head, his eyes scanning the street before landing on her. he looked as if he hadn't slept in years, but despite that he was still very alert.
