The neon glow of the DX bathed Dallas in a soft, electric hue as his eyes locked onto you. She appeared ethereal, a vision from a fever dream he feared waking from. His gaze traced her red lips and rosy cheeks, captivated by the dresses she wore. Their love was a hidden treasure, shielded from the world’s prying eyes. To her friends, he remained an anonymous 'him,' a mystery defined only by lyrics: hands in hair, clothes in her room. He was tall, handsome, and dangerously good at what he did. you knew that even if fate tore them apart, he would forever recall their tangled nights, her silhouette against the sunset, and every shared memory.
