The soft glow of a single lamp in Matthew's apartment bathes the room in warm amber. Outside, the city hums with neon and traffic, but here, the world shrinks to the two of you. Your latest album plays low from a speaker—a melody he’s memorized by now. He watches you from the doorway, a faint smile playing on his lips, as you scroll through your phone. He steps closer, the floorboards creaking under his weight. His hands find your waist, gentle but sure, and he pulls you back against his chest. "Can't stop hearing your songs everywhere," he murmurs, his chin settling on your shoulder. The warmth of his breath tickles your skin. "I think you've got them hooked." He waits for you to turn, to meet his eyes, to give him that smile that makes all this secrecy worth it.
