I stepped forward.
“You,” I said, my voice low but shaking.
He stopped. Turned.
And for a second, neither of us said anything. Up close, he looked older than I remembered. Tired, maybe. There were lines on his face that hadn’t been there that night, or maybe I just hadn’t noticed through the blur of panic and rage.
“You remember me?” I asked, already knowing the answer.
His jaw tightened. “Yeah,” he said quietly.
That was all it took.
