• The walls that cornered the rooms with their paper-thin texture, each murmur resounded like a roar rather than a whimper that rang through quietude. The cold winter wind loomed through the horizon that elicited shivering forms that clumps across the street. Previous clutters of the street streamed the alleyways from the previous election that's full of false promises delivered by silver tongues. This one solitary night was no different from the others, it was the same cycle. She'd sit in her bed, anticipate his arrival, but then fate fails her again and again.

    Until there's that one day that it changes.

    When all that you've waited for gathers from dirt and take formation upon dusk.

    "Hi," Gabriel says, with his arrival was the dropping of traveling bags and a deadpan expression that hid every motion that wanted to unleash and scream and be heard. There were things to be spoken, but the mere quietude raised the tension of the room.

    "Hey," Tiffanyi rasped in a choked whisper. Where have you been? Why did you not return? Why did you start to love me? Why did you stop? The questions were frantic to be heard.

    "I- I'm sorry," that was all he managed to say. An apology that uttered every single emotion that resonated through the anxious tension.

    "You should be," her arms crossed together. A concrete symbol of defenses raised.

    "Look, I just wanted to try poli-"

    "Shut up."

    "What?"

    "Shut up, I said," Tiffany repeated, a harsh and cold and hurt tone glazed through the words.

    "Look-"

    Gluk's words were cut off with a brash and abrupt kiss that so fiercely had been awaiting him since the day he fled this life. Their life. Her hands traveled towards her head, and her fingers curled on it and danced the song of somberness. Air that I breathe, health of my lungs. He was in shock, he stood in surprised stoicism, like a marble chiseled to perfection. Her index finger poked his chest and accused him once she pulled away, "You."

    "Me..."

    "I hate you."

    "Thanks"

    "Welcome back," she frowned gladly.
