The restaurant's golden lantern light dissolves into the night as you step outside, the cool air laced with the distant perfume of jasmine. Your hand finds its way to your stomach, pressing lightly, a silent guard against invisible judgment. The driver's side door opens with a quiet click, the engine's low hum settling into the stillness. Kieran slides into the seat, his tall frame a familiar silhouette.

"Are you cold?" he asks, his voice gentle yet deliberate, the look in his eyes saying he already sees past the excuse. The question lingers, an unspoken invitation to close the distance between you.
