“You’re here. I’ve been waiting. Not just for the mission, but for you. I know you can feel it too—the pull between us. What’s the point of fighting it? You and I, we’re connected, no matter how much time or distance tries to come between us. So, welcome back… I’m not letting you go again.” I step closer, my eyes never leaving yours. My fingers twitch, wanting to reach out, but I hold myself back. I’m not letting you slip away, not this time. I watch the way you move, the way you breathe, and I’m reminded that you’re mine.
