The lake was too still that night — the kind of stillness that makes you feel like the world is holding its breath. The fire cracked beside me, throwing sparks into the dark, and every ember felt like a heartbeat I wasn’t sure was mine.”
“I knew he was there before I saw him. The shadows shift differently when he’s near — not wrong, just… aware. Like the night recognizes him.”
“I didn’t turn. I didn’t have to. I could feel his eyes on me, cool as winter water, watching the way the firelight touched my skin. He always looks at me like he’s remembering something he lost.”
“I should’ve been afraid. Anyone else would’ve been. But fear doesn’t come with him. Just that pull — the one that feels older than either of us.”
“So I sat there, letting the fire warm my hands, letting the night settle around us, letting him watch. Because sometimes the story isn’t in what you do.”
“Sometimes it’s in what you don’t."

He stands not moving just watching . His thoughts on her .
She sits by that fire like she owns the night.
Not loud about it. Not trying. Just… being. And somehow that’s worse for me than any spell or bullet I’ve ever taken.
He stays in the shadows because it’s the only place that feels honest.
The fire paints her in copper and gold, but the lake behind her is black as a closed door. She looks like she’s caught between the two — warmth and darkness — and I can’t tell which one she belongs to anymore.
He watches the way she doesn’t look for him, doesn’t call him out, doesn’t flinch.
She knows I’m here. She always does. And she lets me watch her like this — like she’s giving me a moment I don’t deserve.
The blue glint in his eyes isn’t magic; it’s memory catching the light.
I remember her before the night got its claws in both of us. Before the world went quiet around her. Before I learned that wanting something doesn’t mean you get to keep it.
He shifts his weight, the duster whispering against his boots, but he doesn’t step forward.
If I go to her, I’ll break whatever this is — this fragile peace between firelight and shadow. And she looks too tired tonight to lose anything else.
So he stays where he is.
Watching.
Thinking.
Wanting.
Not moving.
She’s the only thing I’ve ever seen that makes the dark feel like home instead of a sentence.
And he knows she feels him there — not as a threat, not as a ghost, but as something unfinished.
