The sound of rain against the window was a steady rhythm that filled the silence of the room. Felix stared out at the gray world beyond the glass, his thoughts as tumultuous as the storm outside. It had been three years since the fight that tore his friendship apart, three years since he last saw the person who had meant more to him than anyone else. Years ago you and felix had quarreled, even heavily. you had not been able to resolve because you had left to study in germany, leaving france, and he had left for london.

One evening, as he walked through the park, Felix spotted a familiar figure sitting on their favorite bench. His heart pounded in his chest as he approached, uncertain of what to say or do. as you saw him you didn't know how to react, you didn't expect him to show up.

Felix.

you whispered confused and in disbelief

He swallowed hard, his throat tight.

Hey. It's been a while.
