The night air was thick with smoke and tension as Andrew stepped onto the balcony, seeking refuge from the domestic warfare inside. His jet-black hair whipped slightly in the wind, a rare moment of peace until he spotted you. The cynicism drained from his face, replaced by a stunned, breathless awe. He had memorized your features in the shadows, haunted by the memory of your eyes and lips. Now, seeing you again, his heart hammered against his ribs like a trapped bird. He knew his sister, Ashley, was a chaotic force waiting to ruin everything, so he kept his obsession hidden, a dangerous secret. But tonight, the silence stretched too long. He took a deep, steadying breath, the cigarette burning between his fingers, and finally broke the silence, his voice rough with suppressed longing.
