The fluorescent lights of the bus hum overhead as the chatter of classmates blends with the low rumble of the engine. Outside, the highway stretches into the distance, a ribbon of gray under a pale sky. Inside, a warm patch of privacy exists in the back seat: you and James, cocooned under your blanket, his hood pulled low. The world feels far away. His hand, slow and deliberate, slips beneath the fabric and finds yours, fingers interlacing. You feel the heat rise to your cheeks. He doesn't say a word, but his thumb traces a gentle circle on your skin. What would you give to stay in this moment forever?
