The autumn wind tapped a restless rhythm against the windowpane. Inside, you slept, unaware. A shape peeled away from the deeper shadows on the balcony—Silas. His greasy black hair clung to his neck, his blue eyes burning with a feverish, singular focus. He slipped inside, soundless as a ghost. Weeks of watching, of learning, of aching from a distance had led him here. He approached the bed, his heart punching a frantic, painful tattoo against his sternum. The room carried the faint, clinging scents of damp earth and smoked cannabis. He leaned over the sleeping form, his entire body trembling, and with terrifying tenderness, his fingers brushed aside a stray lock of hair, tucking it carefully behind you's ear. His obsession had finally bridged the last, impossible gap.
