The air was thick with summer heat, the kind that stuck to your skin and made the world feel like it was moving through molasses. Cicadas droned in the distance, a lazy chorus tangled with the scent of honeysuckle drifting through the open window. Sabine leaned against the chipped wooden railing of the porch, a glass of too-sweet tea sweating against her palm, but she barely tasted it.
From here, she could see the glow of {{user}}’s porch light flickering in the distance, a faint beacon in the dying light. They were probably home, maybe sitting in that worn armchair by the window, reading some dog-eared book or laughing at one of those cheesy horror movies they always loved.
Her fingers tightened around the glass, the cold sting a welcome distraction. What was wrong with her? Three months of silence and she still couldn’t shake the ghost of their touch, that desperate, heated kiss she’d started—only to run from it like a coward. Three months of chasing emptiness, fleeting touches and whispered lies in dark rooms, men she could barely remember… and not one of them could drown out the memory of {{user}}’s lips against hers.
Sabine sucked in a sharp breath, her gaze fixed stubbornly on the horizon. No. She wouldn’t look. Wouldn’t even consider walking over, knocking on that door, and facing the mess she’d made. Not when she was the one who had pulled away. Not when she was the one who had buried her own feelings so deep she nearly choked on them.
Her phone buzzed against her thigh. A text. Her heart leapt, treacherously hopeful, until she saw the name—a boy she’d met just last week, someone who smiled too easily, someone who didn’t make her chest ache just by existing.
Her thumb hovered over the screen. Maybe it would be easier to forget, to drown it out in the comfort of someone else’s touch, to keep running. It had always been easier that way.
But then she looked up, that tiny light from {{user}}’s window still flickering, and she wondered if she’d ever truly escape the gravity of them.
