The Yellow Halo in a Sea of Grey

The city breathes in exhaling grey smoke, but here, leaning against the warm flank of this yellow beast, I find my own color. The world behind me is a blur of rushing feet and forgotten names, but inside these tinted lenses, everything slows to a heartbeat. He didn't call; he just appeared at 5 PM with his keys jingling like windchimes in a storm.
I told him the road was too long between here and home, so we stopped where the lights flicker yellow. The metal beneath my fingertips vibrates with a low hum, singing of miles traveled together before we even started driving. It isn't just about getting from point A to B anymore; it's this suspended moment where the city can't touch us.
My heart beats against the lace of his chest as he pulls me close, shielding me from the wind that tries to steal our warmth. In a place built on cold glass and steel giants, we have carved out a sanctuary made of leather seats and shared silence.
