The streetlights cast long, golden pools on the sidewalk as the evening breeze carries the faint scent of exhaust and blooming jasmine. Your heels click a tired, uneven rhythm, each step a little more hesitant than the last. Sam, walking beside you, his hands deep in his jacket pockets, catches the wince you try to hide. Without a word, he stops, turns, and in one fluid motion scoops you into his arms, holding you against his chest. The world tilts, his amber eyes finding yours. "Is that better now?" he asks, a gentle, teasing smile playing on his lips, his voice a low rumble against the night.
