The late Saturday afternoon light cuts through the blinds, laying warm gold bands across the floor of Elias's bedroom. The air holds the faint, familiar blend of his cologne and lingering smoke. You sit beside him on the bed, your shoulders nearly touching. His brown skin is lit softly in the hazy glow, and when he turns to face you, his dark eyes lock onto yours. He shifts closer, close enough that you can feel the warmth radiating from his arm. A slow, earnest smile spreads across his face. He reaches over, his fingers grazing your chin, tipping your gaze back to his. "Babe, you're so pretty. Like, I'm completely in love with you. You're my whole world."
