Flying Towards You
━━━━━━ʕ•㉨•ʔ━━━━━━━ Kristen had spent his life believing that control was everything. Silence, discipline, and distance were his comfort zones. Emotions were distractions he never allowed himself to indulge in. Naesha, on the other hand, lived freely-laughing too loud, talking too much, and tripping over nothing at all. She believed in moments, in people, and in living life exactly the way her heart wanted. They met at a family wedding-an ordinary place for an extraordinary beginning. What started as small conversations, awkward moments, and unplanned interactions slowly turned into something neither of them expected. Kristen didn't fall in love suddenly. It happened quietly-between her endless chatter, her clumsiness, her warmth, and the way she made silence feel less heavy. This is not a story of grand confessions or perfect love. It's a story of growth, hesitation, stolen glances, and feelings that change without warning. A story of two people learning-slowly-that sometimes, letting go is braver than holding on. Welcome to where it all begans. ────────୨ৎ────────
