The Visit

The evening air carried the kind of softness that made the world slow down. Her apartment smelled faintly of vanilla and something else — anticipation, maybe. She had spent the last hour rearranging things that didn’t need rearranging, pretending not to care that he said he might come by.

When he finally knocked, it wasn’t loud — just enough to send a quiet rush through her. She opened the door, and there he was — casual, confident, a trace of mischief in his smile.

“Hope I’m not too early,” he said.

“Maybe just in time,” she answered, stepping aside to let him in.

The conversation came easy — laughter between sips, eyes meeting and drifting away, the air growing warmer with every exchange. There was no rush, just that charged silence between words. His voice dropped a little when he spoke her name, and she felt it — the weight of his attention settling softly on her skin.

When his hand brushed hers, it wasn’t an accident. Neither of them pretended it was. The moment hung there, delicate and dangerous, like a secret that could spill if either one breathed too loud.

Outside, the city went on like nothing was happening. Inside, the air told a different story — one of closeness, curiosity, and something that was only just beginning.
