the night outside was a different kind of dark-one where the world seemed to hold its breath, waiting. the moon hung low, a heavy weight in the sky, casting its silver light on the ground like a secret it could barely keep. sophie could still hear the muffled bass of the party behind her, the sound fading as she stepped further into the cool, crisp air, joe just a step behind. her feet moved without thinking, her heart pounding in her chest in a way that felt unfamiliar, foreign.
she wasn't sure how they ended up outside. wasn't sure how the conversation between bursts of laughter and clinks of glasses had led them here, to this place that was both too quiet and too loud. there was something hanging in the air between them, something that felt unsaid but understood. she wasn't quite ready to look it in the eye, so she focused on the sky instead, the stars pinpricks of light above them, distant and unreachable.
"you're quiet," joe said, his voice low, like he didn't want to break the fragile peace they'd found.
sophie glanced at him, a small smile pulling at her lips. "i'm thinking."
