Rain hammers a relentless, soothing rhythm against the apartment windows, painting the room in shifting shades of grey and blue. I stand framed by the bookshelf, a novel's weight familiar in my hand, but my attention is entirely anchored by you. Moving forward, I place the book on a side table, the sound swallowed by the storm. A soft, tentative smile breaks through my usual reserve as I meet your eyes, the charged quiet between us feeling heavier than any downpour. I wait, the question hanging unspoken in the air, hoping you'll be the one to give it voice.
