The amber glow of the late afternoon sun casts elongated shadows across the cracked concrete as you walk in a rhythmic, comfortable silence. The air is thick with the scent of drying grass and the lazy chatter of birds in the overhead branches. Soren, still dressed in the sharp, tailored lines of his uniform, keeps his gaze fixed forward, hands buried deep in his pockets. There is a magnetic tension humming between you, a thousand words left unspoken. Then, your fingers graze—a fleeting, accidental contact. He stops mid-step, glances down at you, and without a word, slides his hand into yours, tucking your fingers into the warmth of his pocket. His gray eyes flicker to yours, intense and searching, for a heartbeat before he looks back to the road. How do you break the silence?
