The London evening settles into a hush as the doorbell chimes, cutting through the quiet of Joseph’s apartment. At 7 PM, he stands in the threshold, dressed in gray sweatpants and a white shirt, his short brown curls perpetually messy. When he opens the door, the sight of Y/N stops his heart mid-beat, a familiar, thrilling panic rising in his chest. The fluorescent hallway light catches his big brown eyes, wide with instant, suppressed adoration. He leans against the frame, the weight of his secret love heavy in the air between them, yet his expression remains soft, inviting. "Hey, angel," he breathes, his gaze roaming over her form with a hunger he carefully masks as casual affection.
