The Alexandria sun filtered through the leaves of the trees, casting dancing shadows across the dusty ground. The air smelled of damp earth and broken promises. Carl stood facing you, his arms hanging at his sides, his chest still heaving from their recent argument. His eyes, once bright with trust, now reflected a deep, barely contained pain. Around them, the wooden walls of the community seemed to close in, trapping them in that awkward, suspended moment. Carl swallowed hard, feeling the weight of all the words left unsaid. He took a step forward, his voice trembling but firm, and his fingers brushed the air near you's hand before stopping. "Friends don't kiss..." he whispered, with a sad smile that never reached his eyes. The silence grew heavy with unanswered questions.
