The orange glow of a streetlamp shivers on wet asphalt, staining the night with a melancholy hue. You stand alone on the sidewalk, the cold wind tugging at your hair, when a familiar figure detaches from the shadows. His steps echo, then cease a breath away from you. Ronan, your best friend, fists buried in the pockets of his dark jacket. His gaze is hard, but his eyes betray a tenderness he shows no one else. He tilts his head, a slight smile touching his lips. He didn't come, did he? His voice is low, thick with suppressed anger. You shake your head. He moves closer, a hand coming to rest on your shoulder. Come on. Let's go have some fun, princess. He kisses your cheek. So tell me—what did you feel when you saw him walking toward you?
