His Vows, Her Ruin

We Were Just Friends
I always thought Malachi and I would stay the same forever. Late-night FaceTime. Inside jokes, no one else understood. The kind of friendship where people raised their eyebrows and whispered, "Are you sure you're just friends?" And every time, I'd laugh and say, "Yeah, we're just friends." But maybe I was only trying to convince myself. Because somewhere between the shared playlist, the teasing banter and the way his eyes found mine in a crowded room... I stopped believing it. And maybe he did, too.
The Silence Between Heartbeats
She never noticed the eyes that followed her through shadowed alleyways, across crowded streets, and even in the dim corners of her favorite café. To her, he was a stranger-silent, composed, yet always there. To him, she was oxygen, the only thing worth breathing for. His obsession was a slow-burning fire, consuming reason until love twisted into something far more dangerous. Every smile she gave someone else felt like a theft; every moment she spent away from him was an unbearable wound. He knew her habits, her fears, her dreams-details she never told a soul. But the more he watched, the more he wanted to own her completely. And when a man like him decides he can't live without you, escape isn't an option...it's only a matter of time before the hunter steps out of the shadows.Complete

She was memorizing every word. When it ended, he asked for her number. She gave it. He leaned in for a hug. She stepped back. ❝ Too soon? ❞ he asked, arms mid-air. ❝ Yeah, ❞ she muttered, not meeting his eyes. It should've ended there. But now, she replays his laugh when she can't sleep. And he scrolls to her contact and types without sending. They don't talk. But they think. Constantly. They say nothing happened. But why does it feel like everything changed? ✧˚ · . . .
