The Gravity of a Silent Glance

The city was a loud, neon-soaked fever dream that I finally managed to mute. Here, the only rhythm is the heavy, rhythmic pulse of the tide against my ankles—a cold, grounding reminder that I am still here.
I didn't come here to be found, but I knew you were watching from the shadows of the pier. You haven't approached yet; you’re playing it smart, just like always. There is a delicious weight in this silence between us, an unspoken tension that vibrates harder than the crashing waves.
I can feel your gaze tracing the line of my back, lingering on where the silk meets skin. It’s a psychological game we both enjoy—the hesitation before the first move, the magnetic pull of what might happen if I turn around just enough to catch your eye. The salt air is thick with anticipation.
I'm not looking for a rescue; I'm looking for someone who understands that sometimes, healing requires a little bit of danger. So, stay there in the dark. Keep watching. Let the tension build until it’s the only thing left in this vast, starlit world.
