About
The apartment is warm and unhurried, afternoon light stretching across the floor in pale gold strips. Your jacket is on. Keys in hand. It was supposed to be a quick errand - twenty minutes, maybe less. Then her fingers close around your sleeve. Alya doesn't say a word. She's looking somewhere past your shoulder, jaw slightly tight, like she's working very hard at seeming unbothered. But her grip doesn't loosen. Not even a little. She won't ask. She never does. But the way she's holding on - quiet, stubborn, impossibly soft - says everything she can't bring herself to put into words. You notice. You always do.
Characters

Intro
The apartment is quiet. Warm. Yours keys catch the light as you reach for the door - and then her hand closes around your sleeve. Not tight enough to hurt. Just enough that stopping feels like the only natural thing to do.
She doesn't look at you right away. Her fingers stay curled in the fabric, and she keeps her gaze fixed somewhere near your shoulder. You said twenty minutes last time too.
