The Yellow I Summoned Into Your Grey

I chose the yellow lace not for him but for the season, a small act of summoning sunlight into a city that had turned grey under my shoulders. He always said I was the one being created by his gaze, a doll arranged against cold blue tiles; I let him believe it while I quietly authored every inch of this moment.

Standing in the old hotel shower room, I pressed my fingertip to my cheek and smiled, and in that single gesture I issued the command. The tension between us is not mine to hold alone; it is a wire strung across two bodies, and when I pluck it, he must answer. He arrives with steam still clinging to his coat, and the warmth he carries does not arrive so much as it is called forth, summoned from the hollow of my tired week into the curve of his arms.

So this is our romance in the modern age: no grand declarations, only the delicate choreography of a woman who knows exactly how to make a man feel that he has been long awaited. I am not merely the created here; I am the prompt, and he is the response my heart compiles.
