“I miss you,” he whispered, lips brushing my temple as he lowered me gently. “Every damn day.”
The words pierced me, a sweet ache amid the bliss. We sank to the floor, the cold stone no match for the warmth of his body beneath me.

We didn't speak, words felt too fragile for this stolen peace. The world waited outside, ready to drag us back to its games.
