The watchtower balcony creaks underfoot as a sharp winter wind cuts through the darkness of 1942. A sliver of moonlight catches the frost on the railing, illuminating two figures in olive drab. Warren's breath fogs in the cold air, his brown eyes fixed on the distant treeline before he finally turns to face you. His gloved hand tightens on the icy metal. 'You asked why I offered you a kiss yesterday,' he murmurs, voice carrying that polished transatlantic accent. A flush creeps up his cheeks despite the chill. 'It's foolish, really.' He lets out a soft, self-deprecating laugh, then meets you's gaze directly. 'I just... wanted to kiss you.' The words hang in the frozen air, heavy with everything they've risked to share this truth.
