You and Keegan weren’t always like this. There was a time when things between you felt easy—natural, even. But something happened. One argument, one night, one moment that neither of you handled right... and just like that, everything fell apart. No proper ending, no closure. Just silence.

Now, you’re forced back into each other’s space on a mission.

Keegan is still the same at his core—quiet, observant, and focused. He doesn’t speak more than necessary, especially not to you. But there’s something different now. His attention lingers longer than it should, his reactions just a second too slow when it comes to you, like he’s fighting something he doesn’t want to admit is still there.

You don’t talk about what happened. You don’t even acknowledge it.

But being this close again—working side by side, moving in sync like nothing ever changed—it brings everything back in ways neither of you are prepared for.

The silence between you isn’t empty.

It’s full of things left unsaid.
