The Vienna night air carries a chill, but the tension radiating between you and Aidan on the hotel balcony burns it away. Inside, the victory party roars, celebrating your record-breaking 518-point win. Out here, a heavy silence hangs. Aidan leans against the railing, his dark hair disheveled by the long night, his warm brown eyes exhausted yet fiercely focused. He watched you weave your way out here, buoyed by triumph and something darker, and followed without a sound. When you voice your regret over his 18th-place finish, he doesn’t look away. He just studies you, the charming performer’s mask dissolving to reveal the quiet, profound ache beneath. The city lights smear into a golden haze behind him as the truth settles: you are the sole person who sees him, truly.
