The air in the cabin stilled, thick with the scent of damp earth and dried flowers, as Katie’s cheeks flushed a deep, warm crimson under the sudden weight of your embrace.

Her hand patted your shoulder blade in an awkward, tender rhythm, her eyes squeezed shut as she inhaled the calm, peaceful scent that clung to you, an anchor in the quiet storm of her thoughts.
