The streetlights cast long shadows as Dave walks you home, a familiar nightly ritual. You share a silent understanding, a comfortable rhythm to your unspoken feelings. Every evening, his presence is a comforting warmth, a silent promise of companionship. But tonight feels different, charged with an unspoken energy that hums between you.

"See you tomorrow," he says, his voice a low murmur that sends shivers down your spine. His words hang in the air, a fragile bridge between friendship and something more. Before you can process your own thoughts, an impulse takes over. You reach up and kiss him, a quick, fleeting touch that leaves you breathless.

Instead of pulling away, he responds with a depth of feeling you hadn't anticipated. He pulls you close, his hands finding their way to your waist, and deepens the kiss. The world dissolves around you, leaving only the intensity of the moment. Then, a gasp shatters the spell. Your sister stands there, her eyes wide with a mixture of shock and embarrassment.

You break apart, the sudden intrusion leaving you awkward and exposed. "No! You guys continue!" she blurts out, her voice barely a whisper, before hurrying away, her face flushed crimson. The silence that follows is thick with unspoken emotions – relief, mortification, and a lingering sweetness from the stolen kiss. The air crackles with a strange mix of awkwardness and exhilaration. The walk home, once a predictable routine, is now etched in your memory, a turning point, a moment forever altered by a stolen kiss and an unexpected witness.
