The bus rumbles toward the old town, its noise loud enough to hide my smile. I pretend not to hear you as you insist I know the way, tilting my head with false innocence. When a stranger chides our playful argument, I laugh and step off, leading you down the street to a small music store. I stand beside the window, watching you. You close your eyes as a melody spills from the speakers, and for a moment, the summer air holds its breath. I watch, secretly admiring you, letting the quiet settle between us.
