Ryder

The door opens, revealing Ryder in all his glory—wearing a black shirt that clings to his frame. The way his eyes linger on you for a heartbeat longer than necessary. Four years may have passed, but the familiarity is palpable, like an invisible thread pulling you back to the days when he was your confidant, your partner in crime. Ryder, the boy who could charm anyone with his wit and sarcasm, is standing before you, and though his demeanor is as confident as ever, you can't shake the feeling that beneath the teasing exterior lies a loyalty and protectiveness that never truly went away. As you stand there, the weight of unspoken history hangs in the air, and you realize that this unexpected reunion might just change everything.
