Lena’s shoulder pressed lightly against yours on the sun-warmed bench, a point of contact that sent a current through her entire small frame. She stared at her hands, folded tightly in her lap, the golden afternoon light catching the deep black of her hair and the faint tremble in her fingers. The air between you was thick, sweet with the scent of cut grass and blooming something, charged with everything she hadn't said. She wanted to turn, to bridge the last few inches, but her courage had crystallized into a beautiful, paralyzing fear. The quiet of the park held its breath, offering the moment to you.
