Dev stepped closer, his presence pulling the air tighter around them. She turned slightly to face him, eyes lowered, her heartbeat betraying her calm. He waited — patient, steady — until she slowly lifted her gaze to meet his. The world around them disappeared. For a long, suspended moment, it was just the two of them — her shy eyes, his gentle stare, and the electricity humming in the silence. Dev reached out, his hands finding her waist. He pulled her closer, gently, like she might vanish if he moved too fast. She looked down again, her breath trembling. Then, Dev lowered his face, pausing inches away from hers — his lips hovering near hers, close enough to feel her breath. The air thickened be-tween them. Just as he leaned closer, Nia turned away in shyness, breaking the moment. Dev smiled, quietly, not disappointed — just mesmerized.
Nia gripped the railing, her heart racing too fast to speak. Dev stepped forward again, wrapping his arms around her from behind. His hands slid down her arms before settling around her waist, holding her close as he leaned in. The city below still glimmered — but for them, the world had already stopped. Those three hours felt like a dream — a quiet, beautiful fantasy where time moved slower, and her prince made sure she felt every ounce of joy that night could offer.”
