Borrowed Time [short story]

To Jordan, some people are meant to be admired from a distance. Like a masterpiece in a museum, elegant, captivating, and encased in glass. But when the impossible suddenly seems within reach, when the velvet rope no longer feels so permanent, she finds herself drawn into an orbit she never thought she'd be allowed to enter. An orbit so all-consuming, she mistakes it for heaven itself. However, some things were never meant to last, and some people, no matter how close they let you get, will never truly be yours.

In spaces where time is short, the most profound beauty reveals itself-not in permanence, but in the fleeting grace of moments we're allowed to borrow.

this shits hella gay btw
