Part 2 – The Night Between UsThe city outside was asleep, but inside, everything was awake.
The room was dim, lit only by the soft glow from the streetlights slipping through the curtains. @Alex stood near the window again, her back to me, tracing lazy circles on the glass with her fingertip.
I watched her quietly — the way her silhouette moved, the way her breathing seemed to sync with mine even across the room. There was no music, yet somehow, the rhythm of that moment was enough.
When she turned, our eyes met again — the same silent fire, the same unspoken gravity pulling us closer.
I stepped forward. One. Breath. At. A. Time.
Neither of us said a word. We didn’t need to.
Her gaze told me everything — the hesitation, the trust, the tension that lived between want and restraint.
I reached out, brushing a stray lock of hair from her face. She didn’t move away. The air between us trembled — warm, fragile, alive.
Her whisper broke the silence.
The world outside disappeared — leaving only her, and the pulse of something that had been waiting too long to be felt.

Quote:“You’re thinking too much,” she said, smiling faintly.Maybe I was. But in that moment, thinking wasn’t what mattered.
