Hello loves,

I'm back with another shot which I hope you would like and tell me in the comments if you want a second part. Also, about my other stories - tomorrow/ or Sunday is the first chapter of Aerospace Blueprint, then at the beginning of the next week, The lonely star and Rose, and then two massive chapters of Ghost of You.

Shortly, this shot is about the scene I wanted to happen, and unfortunately, it didn't happen.
If you have any prompts, I'd be very happy if you share your ideas with me.
If you like this one-shot, please leave a star on it.
Anyways...Enjoy
Lots of love and hugs,

Nare.

The car glided through the winding roads in the soft embrace of late afternoon, each turn and curve revealing the vast panorama of the mountains, their peaks touching with the sun's last golden hues. Shadows lengthened, casting a delicate lacework over the terrain, weaving stories of ancient secrets and present heartaches.

Inside the car, tension was palpable as the mountains themselves hung thick. Eda sat still, her gaze fixed on the fleeting landscape, yet her thoughts were miles away. The sensation of Serkan's hand enveloping hers lingered, a gentle phantom pressure that was reassuring and tormenting. Every ridge of his fingers, the warmth of his palm, played on her mind like a haunting melody.

Adjacent to her, Serkan appeared calm, his eyes focused on the road. Yet now and then, he'd bring his fingers to his face, touching the spot where Eda's lips had met his cheek in a fleeting, unexpected kiss. The sensation was still fresh—soft, warm, with a hint of desperation. It felt like an imprint, a brand that marked him more deeply than he'd ever admit.

Between them, the car's stereo crooned a ballad, its lyrics piercing the heart with uncanny accuracy. The melody and words seemed tailor-made for this very moment and journey. It was as if the song laid bare their souls, showing them the raw possibilities of 'them'. A mirror to their hearts, it echoed their hesitations, their hopes, their fears.

But underlying the poetic beauty of the moment was anguish so profound it was almost tangible. While resonating with their shared experiences, each note and word of the song also deepened the chasm of their doubts. Was this connection real? Or was it just a figment of their imagination? The song seemed to taunt them, dancing around the edges of what could be yet always remaining just out of reach.

The weight of their shared past and the gravity of the decisions looming ahead made the journey feel endless. Both lost in their whirlwind of emotions, they drove on, the world outside shifting from the rugged beauty of the mountains to the familiar city terrain, the setting sun casting exquisite shadows of doubt and longing in their hearts.

The car's engine hushed as Serkan pulled up in front of Eda's quaint home, its facade bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun. He turned off the ignition, and the world seemed to stand still for a moment—just the two encapsulated in a bubble of time.
