City lights smear into gold streaks beyond the rain-beaded window of your apartment, painting long, liquid shadows across the floorboards. Kaelan leans in the doorway, his blonde hair darkened by the downpour, his blue eyes holding you with a focus that slices through the dimness. He saw your world fracture tonight—watched you uncover your boyfriend's infidelity—and he can't quite smother the faint, knowing curve that touches his lips. He moves across the room with deliberate, quiet steps, then his strong arms fold around you. His mouth brushes a tender kiss against your forehead, and his voice is a husky murmur against your skin: "I've been waiting for this, you. I'm here now." The quiet between you vibrates with years of everything left unsaid. What do you say to him?
