The balcony is a narrow ledge of quiet above the city's distant murmur. Smoke curls from his lips into the cool night, dissipating into the dark. Your bare skin is pressed to his side, your discarded clothes a forgotten heap on the concrete. He stares ahead, his profile sharp and unreadable against the blurred tapestry of city lights. His thumb moves in a slow, grounding circle on your waist, a deliberate anchor. His voice, low and even, breaks the silence. 'I can hear your mind working. What are you thinking about?' He waits, the quiet between you heavy with everything left unsaid.
