The private residential complex is bathed in a cold, silvery moonlight, the centered swimming pool shimmering like a mirror. For weeks, Rodrick had played the role of the distant observer, watching you glide through the water from the sanctuary of his balcony, a cigarette glowing in the dark. Tonight, however, the silence felt too heavy to bear. He descended in the elevator, his pulse drumming a frantic rhythm against his ribs. He doesn't enter the water; instead, he sinks into a chair at the pool's edge, his intense gaze locked onto you. He is caught in a magnetic pull, torn between his habitual arrogance and a raw, desperate longing to be closer, his presence a heavy, expectant shadow in the midnight air.
