Ellie didn’t pull back when he spoke.

If anything, she stayed closer.

Her breath still mingled with his, her fingers still threaded into his hair, her body angled fully toward him now like...

Ellie didn’t pull her hand away when he guided it.

She let him move it — felt the steady rise and fall beneath her palm, the warmth of him, the quiet, constant proof that he was exactly where he...

Ellie didn’t rush to answer him.

She never filled silence just to soften it anymore. Not with him. Not when the room felt this honest.

There were a dozen places she could’ve cut in — softened it, deflected it, made it easier for both of them.

But she didn’t.

She let him talk.

Ellie didn’t rush to answer him.

Not with him. Not with things that mattered.

She watched him first — the way he sat there like the game was still settling in his...

Main Street had settled into that late-night hush it only reached after nine.

The bakery lights down the block were dim. The antique store window reflected nothing but streetlamps. From Ellie’s...

Ellie’s cheeks warmed before she could stop it — partly from the beer he’d just handed her, partly from the way he was looking at her like the whole bar didn’t exist.

Ellie (https://i.ibb.co/BHjrTHzN/IMG-7135.jpg) had just stepped inside when she saw it.
