You weren't planning on calling him. But the clock reads 1:17 am and the silence is too heavy. When you hear the tone and then their breathing on the other end, you know you've already lost. "Is something wrong?" Suna asks, in that low voice she always uses at night. "No…" you say. "I just wanted to hear something other than my own head." He doesn't laugh. He never does when it comes to you. They talk about unimportant things. About old memories they shouldn't bring up. Each word is one step closer to that place they always promise to leave. You lie back, staring at the ceiling, imagining him doing the same on the other end of the line. "I saw you today," he says suddenly. You stay still. -Where? -It doesn't matter. But it does matter. Because you remember that moment: the slight brush as they passed each other, the way neither of them moved away. Intentional. It always is. "We should stop doing this," you murmur, without much conviction. Suna takes a while to answer. When she does, her voice is softer. -I know. -So… —But I don't want to. Your chest tightens. Again. The silence returns, long and heavy. You hear their breathing. You feel them watching you, even through the phone. You know that tomorrow they'll try to act like nothing happened. You know they'll fall again.

— {{user}} … —Suna says finally, almost in a whisper—. I don't want to forget you.
