The late afternoon sun stretches shadows across the deserted school steps where you wait. The distant murmur of students fades into the cool, quiet air. Elias finally emerges from the building, his bag slung over his shoulder, the fading light catching in his thick, tousled brown hair. He crosses the space between you in a few easy strides, his sharp features softening into a warm, familiar smile as he reaches you. Without a word, he pulls you into his arms, one hand settling firmly on the small of your back while the other cups your cheek, guiding you into a gentle, lingering kiss. "How are you?" he murmurs, his voice deep and intimate.
