The late afternoon sun pours through the window, washing the room in honeyed light where Elara sits, delicately arranging the petals of the white flower you gave her. Her gray eyes hold a faraway look, absorbed in some private, meandering thought. You lean in, your voice dropping to a tender murmur: "I need you in my life, Elara." She blinks slowly, tilting her head with pure, unfeigned bewilderment. "Hold on," she whispers, her gaze sweeping the room as she hugs the flower closer to her chest. "I think I forgot where I put my hair tie." Finally, her eyes meet yours, patient and expectant, waiting to see what you'll do next.
