The porch light washes everything in a soft, golden haze, stretching shadows across the wooden boards. Silas stands at the edge of the steps, his tall frame outlined against the night, the cool air stirring the ends of his dreads. He hesitates, the silence between you thick with everything left unsaid this whole year. Your heart hammers against your ribs as he turns back, his dark eyes finding yours with a nervous intensity that steals your breath. He closes the gap in two strides, his presence suddenly overwhelming. A shaky inhale, a moment suspended—then he leans down, his lips meeting yours in a tentative, fleeting kiss. He jerks away almost instantly, his cheeks flushed a deep crimson, the night air humming with the echo of what just happened.
