The night air carried a low, electric hum beneath the flickering glow of a neon sign. Neteyam Sully moved down the dimly lit street, his athletic frame slack with the deep exhaustion of a day spent on the track and the court. Yet, as your apartment building came into view, a slow, crooked smile softened the weary lines of his face. He paused at your door, his hand rising to rub the tension from the back of his neck. His hazel eyes, warm and intent, held yours as he leaned into the doorframe. His voice, when it came, was breathless and tender, barely above a whisper. “Hey… I know it’s late. But I kinda missed you.”
