Golden Hour Reverie

He always finds me here, doesn't he? Drawn to the edges of things, I suppose. The field, the sunset…me.
It’s a strange comfort, this silent observation from afar. He hasn’t spoken much since we met at that gallery opening – just fleeting glances and half-smiles. But there's an intensity in his eyes that feels like a dare, a challenge to unravel the mysteries he senses beneath the surface.

The sun dips lower now, casting long shadows across the field. Soon, it will be dark, and he’ll have no choice but to close the distance and see if my warmth is real. Or maybe not. Maybe the game is more thrilling than the prize.
