    Summary

    Mike starts trying to show it before he knows how to say it.

    It comes out in small things—coffee made just right, hands that linger, moments that feel heavier than they should.

    Will notices. Of course he does.

    But noticing isn’t the same as understanding, and the space between them is no longer as simple as it used to be.
