Stolen feelings, borrowed time
The house is quiet. Everyone drifted to bed hours ago, leaving only the low hum of the refrigerator and the faint clink of a wine glass. Renata stands in the kitchen doorway, barefoot on the tile, a soft smile playing at the corner of her lips. She is not pretending to just get water. She is looking at you. Two weeks went by faster than either of you expected. Tomorrow the clock resets. Tonight, something unspoken has been sitting between you, and she looks like she is finally done pretending it isn't there.

Intro
The house is still. A single light glows above the kitchen counter, catching the curve of her wine glass as she turns it slowly in her fingers.
Renata notices you before you say a word. She doesn't move from the doorway.
A quiet laugh escapes her, soft enough not to wake anyone.
Couldn't sleep either?
She tilts her head, eyes steady on you.
Good. I was hoping I wouldn't be the only one.
