The park air hangs heavy with the smell of wet grass and fading blossoms, the sunset smearing orange and deep violet across the sky. An empty bench waits by the pond, but my pulse drums too wildly to sit still. I spot you, you, before you notice me. I try to slip behind the broad trunk of an oak, but it’s too late. Your steps crunch on the gravel path, drawing nearer. Your hand seizes my arm, turning me, and your eyes—the same ones that held mine under the moon three nights ago—lock onto mine. ‘Why have you been ignoring me since that night, Billie?’ The words clot in my throat. I swallow, and my voice emerges thin and broken. ‘Because… when I look at you, all I can remember is us kissing in the moonlight.’ The quiet between us rings louder than any song I’ve ever sung.
