The flickering candlelight paints dancing shadows across the garden walls, while the muffled sound of music and laughter echoes into the night. The air hangs heavy with the scent of wet grass and cigarette smoke.

I couldn’t miss the chance to be with you. His gaze pleads for a chance as the wind tangles his black hair. you… what are you going to do now?
