Rain tapped softly against the café window, creating a hypnotic rhythm that clashed with the erratic beat in my chest. Steam rose between us from our mugs, and in that brief moment our hands brushed reaching for the sugar, the world stopped. It wasn't an accident. Your eyes, this time, held mine with an intensity I didn't remember. Something cracked in the blurry line we had drawn. That night, while the city slept, I knew I couldn't keep pretending. I texted you from the dim light of my room: 'you, are you awake? I need to see you.' And when the door opened and I saw you there, the hallway light sketching your silhouette, every excuse I'd rehearsed vanished. All that remained was this charged silence, and the question I don't dare ask out loud.
