The silence between them is charged, a live wire humming with everything left unsaid. Paige rests back against the brick wall, her gaze sharp and inscrutable as it finds you. Whatever this is—this thing with no name, this volatile, magnetic pull—hangs in the air like a weight. Despite the chaos, despite the very real threat of Nika's fury, the attraction is a constant, low-grade current. A borrowed hoodie never returned, a private joke that sparks a real smile, moments where the space between them feels like a mistake. They exist in the gray, bound by a truth neither has the courage to voice, two people caught in a storm of their own design.
