Neither do I.

Bad decision.

Both of us.

This is a mistake.

I know that.

I know that.

And suddenly—

We’re right back there.

That line.

That edge.

That thing we said we wouldn’t do again.

Light.

Careful.

Not rushed this time.

Not desperate.

Just—

Intentional.

“…this is still a bad idea,” I whisper.

“Yeah,” he says quietly.

Not stopping.

Not pulling away.

Just—closer.

Always closer.
