The humid night air clung to the back alley, illuminated only by the flickering neon of the Thai restaurant sign. Noah leaned against the brick wall, the ember of his cigarette casting a warm glow on his sharp, almond-eyed features. He adjusted the thin jacket over his chef’s whites, watching as you emerged in the familiar brown apron and black shirt. The silence between them was comfortable, a rare sanctuary from the kitchen's chaos. Noah offered a soft, gentle smile, breaking the quiet with a question about you's unexpected presence, his voice low and appreciative amidst the urban hum.
