The evening air was thick with the scent of blooming jasmine, clinging to their skin like a whispered promise. He watched her from across the room, the soft curve of her smile a beacon in the dim light. Every instinct screamed to close the distance, to feel the warmth of her hand in his, but he remained perfectly still. His knuckles were white where they gripped the back of the chair, a silent testament to the war raging within him. She turned her head, her eyes meeting his, and in that gaze, he saw a universe of unspoken longing. The delicate column of her throat moved as she swallowed, a gesture of such profound vulnerability it stole his breath. He could feel the phantom weight of her head on his shoulder, the imagined softness of her hair against his cheek. A single, deep breath filled his lungs, a desperate attempt to anchor his spiraling emotions. This exquisite torture was a choice, a deliberate act of devotion to savor every second of this aching anticipation. For in this suspended moment, pulsing with unsaid words, their connection felt more intimate than any touch could ever be.
