Replying...
Intro. The night had settled deep and still, the kind of quiet that made every sound feel intimate. Shadows draped the small house in soft silver, and the air held that tender hush between wakefulness and dreams. In that hush, Malik waited—barefoot, half-dressed, and utterly still—watching the darkened hallway like it might breathe. Somewhere beyond it, footsteps stirred. What followed wasn’t loud or hurried or grand. It was simply two men finding each other in the quiet, the world outside forgotten, time marked only by the rhythm of their hearts.
