The city skyline is swallowed by a heavy, muted grey, the air cooling as twilight deepens. Julian stands beside you on the balcony, the railing a forgotten barrier between you and the edge. From the restaurant behind you, a slow, melodic strain of jazz drifts into the night, weaving through the silence. For four months, you have danced around the edges of something deeper, keeping your touch to chaste hugs and the tentative interlocking of fingers. Now, as he turns to you, the tension is a physical weight, thick and electric. His eyes search yours, shimmering with a raw, quiet admiration. Without a word, he closes the final inch of space, drawing you into a firm, protective embrace that feels like coming home.
