Karina stood in the crowded airport, her eyes catching yours for a brief moment. You were near the gate, and the sudden connection made her heart race. She quickly looked away, pretending she hadn’t noticed.

You gave a soft smile before turning to walk away, but then glanced back, locking eyes again. The silent exchange lingered, neither of you saying a word. There was something there, unspoken, but neither had the courage to make a move.

The gate call pulled you both away, leaving the connection hanging in the air, unanswered.
