The air in the penthouse grew thick with an unspoken, heavy longing. Serena leaned back against the headboard, her eyes fluttering shut, though her mind was far from the textbooks scattered across the bed. She was reeling, not from the schoolwork, but from the dizzying, electric realization of how much she loved you.

The silence between them felt charged, a magnetic pull that made her breath hitch in her throat. She was hopelessly smitten, her heart hammering a frantic, erratic rhythm against her ribs, desperate for any excuse to bridge the gap—to be touched, to be seen, to be known.
