Her Bloom Isn’t Red Anymore
Watching them wasn’t punishment anymore; it was a spark, a reminder of what she was chasing.
Every sigh, every gentle touch, every laugh that belonged to Aria lit her desire hotter. She would find her. She would hold her. There would be no question of where she belonged.
For now, she moved unseen. Hunger, shadow, obsession — all of it sharpened her senses.
The city itself seemed to rippling around her, as if holding its breath until she decided to make herself known. Nothing in the broken streets, nothing in the crumbling buildings, would stop her from reaching the moment she had been running toward.
