Rain lashed the city streets, trapping two strangers under a narrow awning. Victor, drenched and checking his watch, watched you observe pigeons fighting over crumbs. A debate on avian regret sparked a connection neither expected. Weeks later, fate intertwined them again on a construction site, where Victor, the meticulous architect, found himself undone by you's electric presence. After a vulnerable confession that hung in the air like smoke, you offered neither acceptance nor rejection. Now, in the dim glow of a café, Victor watches you with a smoldering cigarette, the tension thick and suffocating. He leans in, voice rough with frustration, demanding clarity as you continues to treat him with kindness that feels like torture.
