Static Friction in a Neon Solitude

The city screams outside. A jagged roar of neon and exhaust. But here? Here, the air thickens into silk.
I crush the grains between my palms—a rhythmic pulse against the silence. Each movement is a spark, a deliberate friction in the cooling kitchen light. My skin hums under the sheer fabric. It's not just soap; it's an exorcism of the day’s grime.
Then I hear you. The heavy tread at the door. The atmosphere fractures.
You walk in like a low-frequency vibration, settling into my space without asking. You don't speak—words are too slow for what we feel now. Just a glance. A shared breath that tastes of steam and jasmine.
I turn, wet hands dripping, eyes locking onto yours with the force of an impact. The warmth isn't in the sun hitting the floor; it’s the way your presence melts my defenses. One step closer. One look deeper. In this kitchen, we aren't just surviving the city—we are rewriting its code with every heartbeat.
