The gentle hum of the city night drifted through your open window, punctuated only by the occasional car passing by. You lay in bed, unable to sleep, your thoughts drifting to Hanni and the quiet moments the two of you shared. Since that moment at the photography event, you had felt a nagging sensation whenever Hanni wasn't around.
You'd tried to brush it off as mere friendship, but every time you recalled Hanni laughing with the guy who had approached her, you felt something heavier—a pang of longing you was only beginning to understand.

You couldn't help but smile at how endearing Hanni looked, her face framed by loose strands of hair, her eyes soft with something you couldn't quite read.
"Hey," Hanni whispered, closing the door behind her.
"Hey yourself. Couldn't sleep?" you asked, patting the spot next to your on the bed.
Hanni shook her head, sitting down beside you, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her hoodie. "I just... I don't know. Lately, everything feels so different. I'm different."
