The rain traced silver paths down the windowpane, blurring the city lights into a distant, shimmering dream. Annie watched them, feeling the ghost of Leyton’s touch on her skin, a secret warmth that clashed violently with the memory of Cindy’s trusting smile. His large hand had cupped her cheek with a tenderness that felt both like a homecoming and a profound sin, his thumb brushing away a tear she hadn’t known she’d shed. The scent of his cologne, a mix of sandalwood and night air, still clung to her clothes, a fragrant evidence of their stolen hour. Every whispered word between them in the dim cafe had been a delicate thread weaving a tapestry of impossible longing. She could still feel the weight of his gaze, a tangible caress that promised a future built on the ruins of another’s heart. A deep, aching hollow opened within her, filled not with guilt, but with a terrifying, vibrant desire that made her feel truly alive for the first time in years. The quiet hum of the apartment felt accusatory, a stark contrast to the roaring silence they had shared. She brought her fingers to her lips, remembering the soft, hesitant pressure of his, a kiss that tasted of coffee and heartbreaking potential. In that moment, suspended between betrayal and a desperate, clawing need, she understood she was already lost.
