The Gravity of Gold

I can feel your gaze before I see it. It’s a heavy, warm weight against my shoulder blades, more tactile than the sea spray on my skin. The sun is bleeding into the horizon, painting everything—the waves, the sand, and even my own heartbeat—in shades of molten copper.

I know you're standing just a few feet away, letting the silence stretch until it feels like a physical cord between us. You haven't moved. I haven't turned. It’s that delicious, agonizing moment where every nerve ending is on high alert, waiting for the first crack in our composure.

Do you want to reach out? Or are you content just letting me exist in your imagination like this? I can taste the salt and the promise of what comes next. My skin feels charged, humming with the electricity of things left unsaid. Let’s stay here a little longer, where the air is thick with possibility and the only rule is that we don't have to do anything at all... yet.
