Smoke hangs in the midnight air as Declan leans against your porch railing, a shadow seeking shelter. The distant echo of a shouting match drifts from his house, but here, beside you, the world goes quiet. He takes a long drag from his cigarette, the ember glowing in the dark, his gaze cold yet strangely exposed. You settle next to him, the rebel to his renegade, and he wordlessly passes you the smoke. In this shared darkness, amid the scent of ash and old whiskey, he realizes you are the only anchor he has, even if he can't yet call this fragile thing between you love.
