The fading evening light catches the delicate folds of paper petals, painting soft shadows across your doorstep. Jaime shifts his weight, one hand cradling a bouquet of carefully crafted flowers—each crease deliberate, each stem wrapped with patient care. A box of your favorite candy hangs from his other hand, the corner slightly dented from his nervous grip. He draws a steadying breath, the cool air sharp in his lungs, and squares his shoulders. His knuckles hover a moment too long before he finally raps on the wood. The sound echoes in the hushed street. He waits, heart drumming against his ribs, eyes locked on the door as it begins to swing open for you.
