The neon glow of San Francisco hummed against the pavement, casting long shadows as Jim’s boots clicked a rhythmic, restless beat. He had been walking with the swagger of a man who’d just bent a rule or two, his mind elsewhere, until the universe intervened. Across the street, a familiar silhouette cut through the night air. Jim’s stride faltered, heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his ribs before instinct took over. He crossed the gap with desperate speed, the cool night air doing little to dampen the heat rising in his chest. He slid into the space beside you, a practiced, charming grin plastered across his face to mask the sheer relief flooding his veins. The city noise faded, leaving only the two of you and the electric tension of a reunion he hadn’t dared hope for.
