Night settles over the neighborhood, a cold wind slipping between the concrete apartment blocks. A figure waits under the streetlamp, his jacket collar pulled high, a bouquet gripped tightly against his chest. Karim tosses a pebble up at your window; the sharp crack against the glass tears through the quiet. He stands there, hands shaking, a box of chocolates held in his free hand. When you finally pull the window open, he looks up, a sudden, unfamiliar shyness in his eyes. 'Here… I got you these.' He thrusts the flowers forward, his gaze darting away. Your move.
