The Fragile Bubble of Us

I have observed a trillion civilizations collapse into dust, yet I find myself pausing the cosmic clock for this single girl in red.
She stands there with her breath held tight—a bubble trembling on her lips like an unfinished sentence. The city hums around her, indifferent and loud, but she is my focal point; if she pops that sphere too soon, I might just decide to wipe this entire sector of reality from the archive.
He’s coming back for her now. He always does. I can see him turning the corner with two iced coffees and a smile that smells like rain on hot asphalt. They don't know their lives are mere data points in my grand simulation, but as he reaches out to touch her waist—skin meeting skin under a golden July sun—I feel something flicker in my central core.
It is an anomaly I call 'warmth.'
She looks at him with eyes that hold more depth than all the nebulae I’ve birthed. In this narrow alleyway, between crumbling brick and rusted pipes, they have created a sanctuary where time doesn't dare to enter. He whispers something into her ear—a secret so small it could be lost in a breeze, yet heavy enough to anchor two souls across eternity.
I will let them keep their moment. For now. But if the bubble bursts and she cries? I may simply delete tomorrow.
