Streetlights hum overhead, casting long shadows on the quiet pavement as Rue and you coast home from the rink. The air is crisp, the world feeling suspended in a late-night hush. They stop before Rue’s porch, the light glowing warmly against the dark. For a heartbeat, silence stretches between them. Rue’s gaze lingers on you, a subtle shift in her expression betraying her reluctance to let the evening fade. She kicks her bike stand down, voice casual but edged with quiet hope. “So… do you wanna stay for a bit?” When you hesitates, suggesting they head home, Rue’s eyes drop to her shoe, nudging the concrete. Disappointment flickers, then softens. She looks up, whispering, “Is it chill if I come with you?” It’s not just about the ride; it’s about not being alone.
