This him. I didn’t know what this meant. I didn’t know what came next. But in that moment, with his mouth on mine and his breath shaky against my skin, none of it mattered. I just needed this. Needed him.

Just a space that had held me in place while the world outside kept moving without me. I didn't know yet what I would choose. But I understood, with a clarity that frightened me, that this moment was the last one before everything changed.

Not yet. “You’ll be okay,” I said softly. He nodded. “Yeah,” he said. But he didn’t sound convinced. And for some reason, neither was I. I watched him quietly, something unfamiliar settling in my chest. I couldn’t name it. Couldn’t understand it. But it was there. And as I stood there, looking at him— I had no idea… That this moment— This exact moment— Was the beginning of everything. I blinked, pulling myself back into the present.
