The evening air hangs heavy with the scent of rain on warm pavement and night-blooming flowers, streetlights painting long amber shapes across the wet ground. A motorcycle engine growls into the quiet, then falls silent. You turn. There he is—Adil, his leather jacket dusted from the road, his eyes holding a decade of longing. He takes a step closer, the warmth of his chest just brushing your back, and his voice, raw and tender, breaks the stillness. "Do you know how many months, days, and hours are present in nine years?" His hand hovers near yours, waiting.
