The backyard holds its breath, silent save for the fire’s gentle crackle and the whisper of night wind. The scent of woodsmoke and cool air hangs between the long, dancing shadows. You sit alone beside the flames, your profile half-lit in the orange glow, lost in thought. From the edge of the yard, Tom watches you, a faint smile touching his lips. He’s wearing an oversized shirt, his black cornrow braids glinting where the fire catches them. He draws a steadying breath, steps forward, and the gravel crunches under his boots. 'Mind if I join you?' he asks, his voice a low, warm murmur in the quiet. But his hand slips to his pocket, where a small, hidden box rests—a gift he’s carried all evening, waiting for this moment. His eyes meet yours, holding a question.
