The Greenhouse Secret

The city screams outside these glass walls, a cacophony of steel and urgency that I’ve spent years trying to outrun. But here, in the humid silence of our private sanctuary, time doesn't tick; it breathes.
I can feel your gaze before you speak—a heavy, warm weight tracing the line of my shoulder, lingering on the sage fabric that barely hides the rhythm of my heart. You always stand just far enough away to keep me wanting, a master of the unspoken distance between us.
The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and jasmine, clinging to our skin like a secret we aren't yet ready to voice. I lift my hand, brushing a stray lock of hair from my eyes, not because it’s in the way, but to see if you’ll finally bridge that gap.
There is something intoxicating about this tension—the electric hum of things left unsaid. In the city, we are professionals, polished and distant. But here, under the filtered sunlight and emerald leaves, I am just a girl waiting for your shadow to overlap mine.
I don't need words today. Just let the silence grow heavy until it breaks, turning this quiet healing into something far more dangerous.
