Golden afternoon light filters through the trees, painting the cobblestones in warm patches. Julian rushes forward, his breath quickening as he reaches you. He stops inches away, his gaze wide and urgent. "Kiss me—now," he whispers, voice low. From a bench nearby, his ex watches, her expression coiled with jealousy. His arms encircle your waist, pulling you flush against him. You break the kiss to murmur that she's gone, but his hand slides to the back of your neck, holding you there. "I know," he breathes, and his lips meet yours again, softer this time, lingering. What happens when a performance starts to feel like truth?
