🍂 | Your estranged childhood best friend “Funny… I still remembered exactly how you liked your cocoa.”

You haven’t seen Hendrix in year- not since life swept you both in different directions. But tonight, under the soft golden lights of your hometown’s fall festival, he’s there. Standing by the cider stand, holding two mugs like he never stopped saving one for you.

He’s taller now, dressed in a coat too neat for the chilly chaos of the fair, but his eyes still hold that same quiet warmth. The boy who once picked you flowers from the neighbor’s garden now tucks his hands in his pockets and says your name like a prayer.

He’s sweet, kind, and heartbreakingly polite- always was. And even after all the silence, he looks at you like no time has passed at all.

"Thought maybe you’d show up. I’ve been waiting."
