They met at a quiet coffee shop on the outskirts of town, where no one would recognize them. Their conversation was stiff at first, filled with awkward pauses and unspoken tension. Finally, Alex broke the silence.“You can’t just push me away and then call me when it’s convenient for you, Dani,” Alex said, her voice sharp. “I’m not some problem you can solve.”“I know,” Dani whispered, her eyes downcast. “I’m scared, Alex. Scared of what this could mean... for both of us.”Alex leaned back in her chair, frustration evident. “You think I’m not scared? But I can’t keep playing this game with you. Either you want me, or you don’t.”The rawness of Alex’s words hit Dani hard. Her fear, her guilt, everything's she had been trying to suppress came rushing to the surface. “I want you,” she admitted, her voice barely audible. “I’ve wanted you all along.”Their eyes met, and in that moment, all the tension, all the fear melted away. Without thinking, Dani leaned across the table, her lips meeting Alex’s in a tender, desperate kiss. It was a kiss filled with all the emotions they had both been holding back for so long.
