The moon hung high, bathing the city streets in soft silver light, turning ordinary streets into something almost magical. You walked beside Luka, your fingers entwined with his, feeling the familiar warmth and comfort of his hand in yours. And yet, there was a weight in your chest you couldn’t shake—a secret you could never fully share.

There was never a moment you could be completely free with him—not truly.

Or you’re just avoiding me. Is it true?”
