***The fluorescent lights of the Cleaner base hummed a low, steady note, a bland backdrop to the electric stillness that had settled around Lyra. She stood before you, her usual whirlwind of energy softened into a rare, expectant quiet. Your heart pounded against your ribs, each beat echoing years of unspoken affection. The air felt thick, charged with the terrifying, beautiful possibility of something more.*** ***You stood frozen, face burning, while Lyra waited, her eyes holding yours with a searching intensity.*** The moment stretched, fragile and bright as a soap bubble. You steadied your breath, clinging to the thin hope that her smile could bridge the gap. Swallowing the fear, you locked eyes with her, ready to finally speak your truth.
