“I didn’t plan any of this,” she said, still tracing his hand. “Not this deeply.”
“I know,” he said quietly. “Neither did I.”
“And still... here we are.”
“Yes.”
They sat like that, not counting time, not counting heartbeats, just breathing in tandem, like a shared secret.
Tilted his face gently toward her, and her lips met his again.
This kiss was different.
Not urgent.
Not heavy.
But deep.
Slow.
Lasting.
Her hand slid into his hair, his fingers resting lightly at her hip.
They didn’t move.
They didn’t have to.
It was the kind of kiss that spoke of staying, of knowing, of feeling each other with the soul first.
When they finally parted, it wasn’t with breathlessness.
It was with stillness.
Their foreheads rested together, eyes half-closed, hands still touching.
“I’ve never felt anything like this,” she whispered.
He nodded, unable to speak.
And as the last candle flickered lower, the night wrapped around them like a hush.
Two hearts. One breath.
But neither of them wanted to move away.
