The Old House - With Lingering Tension
The two of them stood at the entrance of the old house
Which seemed to have been lost to time
Its once vibrant paint faded, its windows tired and clouded by age
Yet, the house held a strange beauty in its solitude.
It was as if it waited for someone to breathe new life into it.
Priya stepped out first,
Her fingers lingering on the door handle as she gracefully exited the vehicle.
Ravi followed closely behind, his gaze inadvertently drawn to her as she walked.
Her movements were effortless, and yet every step she took seemed to send electric jolts through him.
The warmth of the ride still lingered on his skin,
Especially where their shoulders had brushed, where her hand had brushed his.
Her delicate form, the soft flutter of her hair, the way she carried herself
There was something indescribably magnetic about her.
Even though the house in front of them was weathered and dull
She made everything around her feel alive.
The tension was palpable, they were in the same space
But in a way, they were still together in that auto
Inches apart, not knowing how to respond to what had happened.
