I met him at a rooftop lounge during a rainy summer night in New York City. The conversation was effortless, the tension impossible to ignore. Hours passed with teasing smiles, lingering touches, and stolen glances across candlelight. When we finally danced, his hands rested gently on my waist while my heartbeat raced faster than the music. By the time we left together, the city lights blurred behind us, and the anticipation between us felt hotter than the summer air itself.
