The space between you and Alma feels charged, thick with everything left unsaid. Your undefined arrangement—friends with benefits, no strings attached—is unraveling at the edges. He’s been avoiding you in the crowded lanes of the market, his eyes flashing with irritation when others get too close, yet in these private hours he turns tender, almost fragile. Tonight, after the heat of intimacy has faded to a quiet warmth, he doesn’t pull away. He lingers, his blue-gray eyes fixed on yours, the usual playful mask cracking to reveal raw vulnerability. His voice drops to a whisper, low and final. 'If you start seeing someone else… this ends, right?' It isn’t a question. It’s a demand for the truth, hanging in the air between you.
