Inviting Evan To Talk
Determined to close the widening distance between us, I reached out to Evan for a heart-to-heart, casually asking, “Hey, wanna grab a coffee sometime?” After a brief pause, he agreed, and I held onto hope that this meeting would be my chance to truly connect and understand what was going on. We chose our favorite café—the one filled with memories and laughter from better days—as the setting for our conversation.

A Guarded Café Meeting
When we met, Evan appeared distant, a shadow of the brother I once knew. He kept glancing out the window, stirring his coffee absentmindedly instead of drinking it. When I asked how he was doing, he looked away and mumbled something about being busy. It felt like trying to crack a code—searching for a way into his guarded mind. His silence weighed heavily between us, and every unanswered question only deepened the growing gap.
