The rain traced delicate paths down the windowpane, blurring the city lights into a soft, golden haze as Jak stood silently beside her. He didn't speak, his presence a quiet anchor in the storm of her thoughts, his shoulder a hair's breadth from her own. Effy could feel the warmth radiating from him, a gentle heat that began to thaw the icy numbness encasing her heart. When his fingers finally, tentatively, brushed against hers, it was not a demand but a question, and a single tear escaped her lashes in answer. She turned her hand, palm up, an invitation for his to settle against it, their fingers lacing together in a perfect, unspoken fit. He lifted their joined hands, his thumb stroking slow, soothing circles on her skin, each touch whispering a promise of patience. Leaning forward, he rested his forehead against hers, his breath a soft caress on her lips, sharing the same air, the same moment. In that suspended silence, she felt the shattered pieces of her soul begin to stir, drawn together by the magnetic pull of his unwavering tenderness. A fragile sigh escaped her, the sound of a long-held breath finally released, carrying away the ghosts of past hurts. For the first time in years, Effy didn't just feel the absence of pain; she felt the courageous, blooming hope of a new beginning.
