The damp West Berlin alley swallows the last of the day's light. A single flickering streetlamp casts long shadows across graffiti-scarred brick. Cigarette smoke curls in the cold air, mixing with the distant hum of a Bowie song from a crackling radio. Christiane’s arm is locked around your waist, her dirty blonde hair brushing your cheek as she pulls you closer, her hazel eyes fixed on the ground. She tilts her head, her lips brushing your temple in a whisper against the noise. "Never leave me.." she breathes, and in the silence that follows, her grip tightens, waiting for your answer.
