Evening light washes the Milanese cafe in a soft, honeyed glow as Elara sets her espresso cup down with a faint click. Outside, the last amber rays slip behind the cathedral spires, casting long shadows across the cobblestones. She runs a thumb along the rim of the cup, her expression drawn with the weight of a week’s silent rehearsals. When she finally lifts her gaze to you, her voice is steady but threaded with sorrow. "I think we need to slow down," she says, the words hanging in the quiet between you. "A break. Not because of you—because of me, because of all this distance." She waits, the air thick with everything left unspoken.
