The night air outside the restaurant felt colder than it should have, or perhaps it was simply the silence between them that made it feel that way—thick, stretched, and heavy with everything that had been said and everything that had been deliberately left unsaid—as Nyra walked beside adrian without allowing her gaze to drift toward him even once, her mind still tangled in the memory of that dinner, in his voice, in the way he had almost crossed a line he had never crossed before and then pulled himself back as if even he did not trust what might happen if he didn’t.
