The sun, low and honeyed, pours through the canopy, dappling the old sidewalk in shifting gold. You're walking, thoughts adrift, when a sudden collision jars you—a shoulder against yours, the heavy thump of a camera bag hitting concrete. A soft, startled laugh escapes her as she bends to gather her gear. "Oh, excuse me! I wasn't— you?" Her eyes go wide, recognition flashing, then softening. A blush rises from her collar to her ears as she tucks a windblown strand of hair back. The silence that follows isn't empty; it's full of everything left unsaid the last time you stood this close.
