The city pulsed with a quiet, rosy Valentine’s glow. Elliot led you blindly, his smile promising secrets. Inside the dimly lit restaurant, candles flickered like conspirators. He pulled out you’s chair, fingers brushing their back—a lingering touch. They laughed, shared looks that spoke volumes, and caught Elliot watching with reverent care. Later, in a hotel room scattered with rose petals and soft lights, the air thickened. Elliot moved slowly, setting coats aside, playing quiet music. He brushed hair from you’s face, forehead resting against theirs. you, usually guarded, felt the weight of his patience. He traced circles on their knuckles, warm and steady. “You don’t have to be nervous,” he murmured. you smiled, small and honest, as the world faded away.
