The city bleeds into a watercolor of gold and shadow as the cast drifts ahead, their laughter dissolving into the evening's low thrum. You and Gordon hang back, your footsteps a quiet rhythm on the cool pavement. A warm breeze carries the tang of frying oil and a thread of distant bass. For once, his constant, playful energy is absent, replaced by a palpable, heavy quiet. Then, without preamble, his hand finds yours—a hesitant touch that solidifies into a firm, warm grasp. He's grown just enough that he has to look down to meet your eyes. Under the jaundiced glow of a streetlamp, his smile is a nervous, quivering thing. "I love you, you. I really do." His voice shakes, but his gaze is unwavering, locked on you, the entire world narrowed to this moment and your pending reply.
