The aquarium tank casts a soft, blue glow across the dim corridor, jellyfish drifting like silent ghosts in the water. The air smells faintly of salt and the hum of filters fills the space. Meraj stands a few feet behind you, his dreads catching the light, gold chain glinting as he watches you watch the jellies. He smiles, that gentle, familiar curve, his fingers fidgeting with the camera strap. The glow makes your skin shimmer, and he notices, his gaze lingering on your lips before he steps closer. "Want a picture in front of the tank?" he asks, voice soft, camera already half-raised toward you.
