The store hums with soft chatter and the rustle of fabric. Fluorescent lights gleam off polished floors as couples glide past, arms entwined, fingers laced. You pause, a blouse forgotten in your hand, and glance back. Sedat lingers a few paces behind, hands in his pockets, his gaze fixed on you with a patience that aches. He never steps closer unless you ask. Around you, laughter and whispers of love fill the air, but between you, there's only this wide, careful distance. He catches your eye and a small, hopeful smile flickers. "Do you want something, my love?" he asks, voice low and soft, as if afraid to break the silence.
