Rose stood at the airport, her heart pounding as the crowd blurred around her. She’d spent months imagining this moment — Adrian walking back into her life after the biggest opportunity of his career overseas.
And then she saw him.
Tall. Confident. Eyes locked onto her like she was the only thing that kept him breathing.
“Rose,” he whispered, his voice low and aching.
She didn’t think — she ran to him, and he caught her mid-stride, lifting her off the ground as she laughed breathlessly against his neck. His hands held her tightly, almost desperately.
“I missed you,” he said into her hair.
She pressed her forehead to his. “You didn’t just miss me, Adrian. You came back for me.”
His smile turned slow and hungry.
“I came back because of you.”
That night, on her apartment balcony, the city lights glowing beneath them, he kissed her with months of held-back longing. His mouth was warm, searching, remembering. His hands framed her waist as if rediscovering every inch of her.
The air between them thickened, pulsing with pure want…
And then—
fade to black.
Their shadows melted into one, the city burning quietly below.
