The wind off the Chicago streets cuts through O'Block as I move, my gaze dissecting the familiar urban scene. It's been a minute since I last saw you, but the memory of that first, breath-stopping look hasn't faded. Then, movement catches my eye—your foot snags on the cracked sidewalk, your balance breaking. Everything slows. My hand finds your arm, an anchor against the fall. You look up, and the noise of the block fades away, replaced by that old, electric recognition. The butterflies swarm back, a violent, sweet ache rooting me to this spot.
