The night was still and deep, the hollow echo of footsteps the only sound on the empty street. Under the sickly yellow glow of the streetlamps, Kai stopped abruptly, his cold gaze dropping to your feet. Without a word, he knelt on the damp pavement, his precise, careful fingers tending to the untied lace of your shoe. You watched him, struck by the stark contrast between his severe expression and the tenderness of the gesture. He lifted his face, a smile so slight it was almost not there touching his lips. "What?" he asked, his voice a low murmur in the quiet. "Did you think I was going to propose?" The question hung in the cold air, waiting for your reply.
