- 00:00:00I never expected a routine visit from a
- 00:00:01cop to turn into something so intense
- 00:00:04when he showed up at my door I thought
- 00:00:05it was just another professional call
- 00:00:07but what happened next was far from what
- 00:00:09I could have imagined his actions left
- 00:00:11me breathless and that moment changed
- 00:00:13everything let me take you back to where
- 00:00:15it all started I had never been one to
- 00:00:17seek attention especially not from
- 00:00:19people I didn't know my life had a way
- 00:00:21of moving in slow predictable rhythms my
- 00:00:25job my routine and the quiet Solitude of
- 00:00:28my apartment were all I really needed or
- 00:00:30so I told myself for the most part I
- 00:00:32convinced myself that I didn't need much
- 00:00:34else but there were moments fleeting
- 00:00:37moments where something deep inside me
- 00:00:39stirred a longing maybe or perhaps a
- 00:00:42need for connection but I buried it
- 00:00:44every time telling myself that it was
- 00:00:47just a fleeting thought nothing more it
- 00:00:49wasn't until the knock on my door that
- 00:00:51everything changed it was late afternoon
- 00:00:53when I heard it just a light tap but it
- 00:00:55was enough to pull me out of the haze
- 00:00:57I'd been living in I wasn't expecting
- 00:00:59anyone which made it all the more
- 00:01:01jarring I glanced over at the clock 4:15
- 00:01:05p.m. I wasn't expecting a delivery no
- 00:01:08family member or friend I sighed and
- 00:01:11dragged myself from the couch to the
- 00:01:13door trying to prepare myself for some
- 00:01:15sort of
- 00:01:16inconvenience but when I opened it I
- 00:01:18wasn't prepared for him officer Chase
- 00:01:21stood on the other side his uniform
- 00:01:23crisp his badge gleaming under the dull
- 00:01:26light of my hallway he looked just like
- 00:01:28any cop tall imposing with that practice
- 00:01:32sternness in his eyes but there was
- 00:01:35something different about him something
- 00:01:37that I couldn't quite place his eyes
- 00:01:40soft yet calculating met mine and I felt
- 00:01:44a strange heat rise in my
- 00:01:46chest good afternoon sir he said his
- 00:01:49voice smooth calm but with an authority
- 00:01:53that immediately put me on
- 00:01:55edge I'm officer Chase we've had a
- 00:01:58complaint about some noise coming from
- 00:01:59in this unit just need to check on a few
- 00:02:02things if that's all
- 00:02:03right his presence made me uneasy in
- 00:02:06ways I couldn't quite explain he wasn't
- 00:02:08threatening far from it but the way he
- 00:02:11stood there exuding quiet confidence
- 00:02:14seemed to fill the space between us
- 00:02:16making everything feel heavier more
- 00:02:19charged I nodded stepping aside of
- 00:02:22course come in I said trying to keep my
- 00:02:25voice steady but feeling something
- 00:02:27stirring under my skin as he walked past
- 00:02:31me into the apartment I couldn't help
- 00:02:32but notice how his uniform fit his body
- 00:02:35it wasn't anything overt just the way
- 00:02:38his shoulders filled the fabric the way
- 00:02:41his boots made a soft sound against the
- 00:02:43wooden floor he seemed aware of
- 00:02:46everything as if he had control over the
- 00:02:48space around him and in that moment I
- 00:02:51realized just how much of a stranger he
- 00:02:53was to me a stranger who made me feel
- 00:02:57unsettled in a way I couldn't explain
- 00:03:00mind if I take a look around he asked
- 00:03:02his eyes scanning the small living room
- 00:03:05no go ahead I said my words almost too
- 00:03:08quick as if I was trying to cover up the
- 00:03:10strange tension I was feeling I watched
- 00:03:13as he moved through the room each step
- 00:03:15deliberate each glance calculated it was
- 00:03:18clear he was focused on the task at hand
- 00:03:21but there was something else in the way
- 00:03:22he carried himself a quiet Authority
- 00:03:25that made the space around him feel
- 00:03:26heavier I tried to look away but my eyes
- 00:03:30kept returning to him drawn to the
- 00:03:32silent intensity that seemed to radiate
- 00:03:34from him the visit was brief a mere
- 00:03:37formality he looked around the apartment
- 00:03:40checked the windows asked a few
- 00:03:42questions about my neighbors I could
- 00:03:44tell he was just doing his job yet there
- 00:03:47was something about his presence that
- 00:03:48felt personal his eyes lingered a little
- 00:03:52too long when he asked if I'd been
- 00:03:53having any issues with noise lately his
- 00:03:56voice lowering just slightly when he
- 00:03:57said the words
- 00:03:59could have been nothing but it felt like
- 00:04:01more he was polite professional and
- 00:04:04distant but there was a crackling
- 00:04:06undercurrent to The Exchange something I
- 00:04:09wasn't sure how to interpret I tried to
- 00:04:11push it aside telling myself it was
- 00:04:13nothing just a routine visit but as he
- 00:04:16left I noticed the way he paused in the
- 00:04:18doorway his eyes catching mine once
- 00:04:21more thanks for your time he said
- 00:04:24offering me a tight smile if anything
- 00:04:26comes up don't hesitate to call his
- 00:04:29words were ordinary but the way he said
- 00:04:31them felt heavier more
- 00:04:34meaningful I nodded muttering a quick
- 00:04:36sure of
- 00:04:37course the door clicked shut behind him
- 00:04:40and I stood there for a moment just
- 00:04:42staring at the spot where he had stood
- 00:04:44there was a strange lingering feeling in
- 00:04:46the pit of my stomach a mix of confusion
- 00:04:50and something else something I couldn't
- 00:04:52quite name I shook my head trying to
- 00:04:55clear my thoughts it's just a cop I told
- 00:04:58myself but my mind kept returning to the
- 00:05:00way he looked at me the way his presence
- 00:05:03seemed to fill up the entire room the
- 00:05:05feeling didn't fade not entirely in fact
- 00:05:09over the next few days it only seemed to
- 00:05:11grow stronger I found myself replaying
- 00:05:14the encounter in my mind those small
- 00:05:16moments when our eyes met the way his
- 00:05:19voice had lowered when he spoke to me
- 00:05:21the quiet assurance that radiated from
- 00:05:23him it was almost as if he had left a
- 00:05:25part of himself behind when he left a
- 00:05:28part that I couldn't shake no matter how
- 00:05:30hard I tried I tried to brush it off as
- 00:05:33nothing just a passing attraction maybe
- 00:05:36nothing more but the truth was I
- 00:05:39couldn't stop thinking about him and
- 00:05:41little did I know I wasn't the only
- 00:05:44one as the days went on the memory of
- 00:05:47that afternoon lingered a whisper I
- 00:05:49couldn't quite Shake I told myself it
- 00:05:52didn't matter that it had been a routine
- 00:05:54visit nothing more nothing less but the
- 00:05:58way officer Chase had looked at me me
- 00:06:00the way his voice had lowered into
- 00:06:02something quieter almost personal kept
- 00:06:05replaying in my mind at the most
- 00:06:07inconvenient moments I wasn't expecting
- 00:06:09to see him
- 00:06:10again so when the doorbell rang late in
- 00:06:13the evening sharp and urgent I nearly
- 00:06:15dropped the glass I was holding my
- 00:06:18stomach Twisted as I hesitated for a
- 00:06:20moment listening the ringing didn't come
- 00:06:23again but then there was a knock three
- 00:06:26fast impatient wraps something wasn't
- 00:06:29right I opened the door and there he was
- 00:06:32officer Chase but not like before his
- 00:06:35uniform was slightly disheveled his
- 00:06:37breathing a little uneven and under the
- 00:06:40dim hallway light I could see a thin
- 00:06:42trail of blood running from a scrape
- 00:06:44near his Temple his hand gripped the
- 00:06:46door frame just barely as if steadying
- 00:06:49himself hey he said his voice lower than
- 00:06:53usual I sorry for just showing up like
- 00:06:56this for a second I just stared my mind
- 00:07:00scrambling to piece together what I was
- 00:07:01looking at his usual composure was
- 00:07:04cracked not gone entirely but enough to
- 00:07:07make my pulse jump what happened I asked
- 00:07:10stepping aside instinctively are you I'm
- 00:07:14fine he let out a breath shaking his
- 00:07:17head slightly some idiot broke into a
- 00:07:20house down the block got the call while
- 00:07:22I was already in the area when I showed
- 00:07:24up he bolted ran right past me clipped
- 00:07:26me in the process he touched his Temple
- 00:07:29briefly ly then scoffed slippery bastard
- 00:07:32got away I frowned glancing past him
- 00:07:35toward the hallway as if expecting to
- 00:07:37see a trail of chaos left in the
- 00:07:39suspect's Wake but the corridor was
- 00:07:42quiet just the dull hum of a light
- 00:07:44fixture and the distant sound of a
- 00:07:46television from a neighboring
- 00:07:48apartment are you sure you're okay I
- 00:07:51asked again this time more firmly yeah
- 00:07:55he exhaled running a hand down his face
- 00:07:57before giving me a look one I couldn't
- 00:07:59quite read I just need a second and
- 00:08:02maybe a drink if you've got one that
- 00:08:05caught me off guard but before I could
- 00:08:07question it he shifted his posture
- 00:08:09finally betraying the fact that he
- 00:08:11wasn't as fine as he wanted to seem it
- 00:08:14wasn't much just a fraction of a sway a
- 00:08:17slight winse As He adjusted his stance
- 00:08:20but it was enough I didn't hesitate come
- 00:08:23in I said stepping aside fully this time
- 00:08:26he didn't argue he walked past me his
- 00:08:28movements still controlled but carrying
- 00:08:30a weight that hadn't been there before
- 00:08:33as I shut the door behind him I could
- 00:08:35smell the faintest trace of sweat and
- 00:08:38something else something sharp like
- 00:08:41adrenaline still burning off he took a
- 00:08:43seat at the small dining table without
- 00:08:45waiting for an invitation leaning back
- 00:08:48slightly one hand rubbing at the side of
- 00:08:50his neck I moved to the kitchen grabbing
- 00:08:53a glass and filling it with water sorry
- 00:08:56about the doorbell he said his voice
- 00:08:58drifting over to me didn't mean to make
- 00:09:00it sound like a damn
- 00:09:01emergency it's fine I replied setting
- 00:09:04the glass in front of him I thought you
- 00:09:06were about to knock the whole door down
- 00:09:08though that earned me a slight smirk but
- 00:09:11he just shook his head taking the glass
- 00:09:13his fingers wrapped around it but for a
- 00:09:15second he didn't drink just stared at
- 00:09:18the water as if lost in thought then
- 00:09:21after a beat he lifted it to his lips
- 00:09:23and drank deeply I sat across from him
- 00:09:27watching the way his throat moved as he
- 00:09:29swallowed the way his shoulders slowly
- 00:09:31relaxed as the tension bled out of them
- 00:09:34the scrape near his Temple still looked
- 00:09:36fresh the skin slightly rened around it
- 00:09:40you should clean that I pointed out he
- 00:09:43lifted a hand to it absently fingertips
- 00:09:45grazing the wound before pulling back
- 00:09:47it's nothing I've had worse that doesn't
- 00:09:50mean you should walk around with dried
- 00:09:52blood on your face I shot back without
- 00:09:55thinking I got up heading toward the
- 00:09:57small bathroom I grabbed a clean
- 00:09:59washcloth and ran it under warm water
- 00:10:01before returning here he looked up at me
- 00:10:05something flickering behind his eyes but
- 00:10:07he didn't protest when I handed him the
- 00:10:09cloth he pressed it against his Temple
- 00:10:12wincing slightly before muttering you a
- 00:10:14medic or something I huffed number just
- 00:10:18not an idiot that got another smirk
- 00:10:21though this time there was something
- 00:10:22more in it Amusement maybe or something
- 00:10:25else entirely he leaned back in the
- 00:10:27chair letting out a slow breath
- 00:10:30you ever had one of those nights where
- 00:10:31Everything feels like it's moving too
- 00:10:33fast but at the same time it's dragging
- 00:10:36I frowned yeah I guess that's what this
- 00:10:40feels like he muttered shaking his head
- 00:10:42one second I'm chasing down some
- 00:10:45next second I'm here his fingers drummed
- 00:10:47against the side of the glass before he
- 00:10:49looked at me again and I don't even know
- 00:10:51why I came to your
- 00:10:53door something about the way he said it
- 00:10:55sent a ripple through me it wasn't just
- 00:10:57the words it was the the way his voice
- 00:10:59dropped slightly at the end the way his
- 00:11:02gaze lingered he didn't say it like an
- 00:11:04apology he said it like a
- 00:11:07realization I
- 00:11:08swallowed maybe you just needed a place
- 00:11:11to catch your breath he held my gaze for
- 00:11:13a long moment before finally noding
- 00:11:16maybe the silence that followed wasn't
- 00:11:19uncomfortable but it was charged
- 00:11:21something unspoken stretched between us
- 00:11:24a thread pulled taut but not quite
- 00:11:27breaking he set the now Empty Glass down
- 00:11:30his fingers tapping against it once
- 00:11:32before he stood I should go he said
- 00:11:35though he didn't move immediately thanks
- 00:11:37for the water I nodded standing as well
- 00:11:41but neither of us made a move toward the
- 00:11:43door his eyes flicked over me briefly
- 00:11:45before he exhaled rolling his
- 00:11:48shoulders take care all right you too I
- 00:11:52murmured he hesitated for half a second
- 00:11:55then turned and walked toward the door I
- 00:11:58followed watch watching as he pulled it
- 00:12:00open and stepped out into the dimly lit
- 00:12:02hallway but before he left completely he
- 00:12:05glanced back if they catch the guy I'll
- 00:12:07let you know he said his voice quieter
- 00:12:09now as if the walls of the building
- 00:12:11might be listening I nodded yeah okay
- 00:12:16and then just like that he was gone I
- 00:12:18shut the door standing there for a long
- 00:12:20moment my mind still catching up the
- 00:12:23space was different now as if something
- 00:12:26had been left behind even though he was
- 00:12:28no longer there
- 00:12:30and I had the strangest feeling that
- 00:12:31this wouldn't be the last time he came
- 00:12:33to my door and I was right what happened
- 00:12:37next changed us
- 00:12:38forever the days after officer Chase's
- 00:12:41unexpected visit settled into a strange
- 00:12:43Rhythm I went about my usual routine
- 00:12:47work errands mindless scrolling through
- 00:12:50my phone but no matter how much I tried
- 00:12:52to distracted myself my thoughts kept
- 00:12:55circling back to that night to him I
- 00:12:59told myself it was nothing he had been
- 00:13:01injured needed a breather and I happened
- 00:13:04to be the nearest open door that's all
- 00:13:06it was but the way he' looked at me
- 00:13:09before he left that subtle change in the
- 00:13:11moment between us kept gnawing at me
- 00:13:14impossible to ignore more than once I
- 00:13:17caught myself glancing toward the door
- 00:13:19half expecting another sharp knock and
- 00:13:22every time I heard sirens wailing in the
- 00:13:24distance my pulse quickened with
- 00:13:26something that wasn't quite worry but
- 00:13:28wasn't quite relief either I hated the
- 00:13:31way my body had started reacting to the
- 00:13:33mere thought of him a week passed and
- 00:13:36just as I convinced myself that whatever
- 00:13:38moment we'd had was nothing more than a
- 00:13:40fluke my phone rang the number was
- 00:13:43unfamiliar but something inside me knew
- 00:13:45who it was before I even answered hello
- 00:13:49hey it's officer chase the sound of his
- 00:13:52voice sent an immediate jolt through me
- 00:13:55though I forced myself to sound
- 00:13:56indifferent hey what's up
- 00:14:00I know this is a little out of the blue
- 00:14:01he said his tone oddly careful but I'm
- 00:14:04working on some paperwork at the
- 00:14:06precinct and your name came up in a
- 00:14:07routine followup nothing serious just a
- 00:14:10quick
- 00:14:11signature would you mind if I stopped
- 00:14:14by I hesitated not because I didn't want
- 00:14:17to see him I did and that was exactly
- 00:14:19the problem there was no reason for my
- 00:14:21chest to feel this tight no reason for
- 00:14:23my pulse to pick up over something as
- 00:14:26mundane as
- 00:14:27paperwork still I found myself answering
- 00:14:30before I could second guess it yeah sure
- 00:14:33what time I'll be there in about half an
- 00:14:36hour the call ended leaving me staring
- 00:14:39at the phone in my hand a dozen unspoken
- 00:14:42thoughts swirling in my mind this was
- 00:14:44just work a routine visit there was no
- 00:14:47reason to read into it and yet 30
- 00:14:50minutes later I was standing by the door
- 00:14:53trying to pretend I wasn't anticipating
- 00:14:55the moment I'd see him again when the
- 00:14:58knock finally came came it was softer
- 00:15:00than last time no urgent pounding no
- 00:15:03barely contained tension just two steady
- 00:15:06knocks as if he was hesitating I
- 00:15:09swallowed hard before pulling the door
- 00:15:11open there he
- 00:15:13was but something was different this
- 00:15:15time he still wore his uniform but his
- 00:15:18usual guarded expression had softened
- 00:15:21his posture was relaxed almost uncertain
- 00:15:25and for a moment he simply stood there
- 00:15:27looking at me as if he wasn't entirely
- 00:15:28sure why he was
- 00:15:30here hey he said his voice quieter than
- 00:15:33I remembered I nodded stepping aside to
- 00:15:35let him in hey he walked in and for a
- 00:15:39second he just stood in my living room
- 00:15:42his gaze flicking around as if taking in
- 00:15:44the space in a way he hadn't before I
- 00:15:47couldn't quite place it but the longer
- 00:15:50he stayed the more something unspoken
- 00:15:52weighed between us I cleared my throat
- 00:15:55trying to break whatever this was so
- 00:15:59what's this about right he said as if
- 00:16:02snapping back into Focus he pulled a
- 00:16:04clipboard from under his arm I just need
- 00:16:07you to sign this it's a followup on that
- 00:16:09noise complaint you filed last month I
- 00:16:12raised an eyebrow you could have just
- 00:16:14had me sign this at the precinct a small
- 00:16:16smirk tugged at the corner of his lips
- 00:16:18but he quickly hit it yeah I guess I
- 00:16:21could have I reached for the clipboard
- 00:16:23but as he handed it over our fingers
- 00:16:25brushed barely more than a graze still
- 00:16:28still the contact sent an unmistakable
- 00:16:30jolt up my arm something charged and
- 00:16:34immediate Chase noticed it too I knew
- 00:16:37because his breath hitched so subtle I
- 00:16:39might have missed it if I hadn't been
- 00:16:40paying attention he quickly pulled his
- 00:16:42hand back clearing his throat sorry it's
- 00:16:46fine I murmured gripping the clipboard a
- 00:16:48little tighter I tried to focus on the
- 00:16:50paperwork un signing my name where he
- 00:16:53indicated but I could feel his Gaze on
- 00:16:55me lingering in a way that made my skin
- 00:16:58warm
- 00:16:59when I finally handed it back he
- 00:17:01hesitated before taking it a bead of
- 00:17:04Silence stretched between us he shifted
- 00:17:07on his feet then exhaled rubbing the
- 00:17:10back of his neck look I didn't want this
- 00:17:13to be weird I
- 00:17:15frowned what do you mean his jaw
- 00:17:19tightened slightly before he finally met
- 00:17:20my eyes I don't know what it is about
- 00:17:23being here with you but he trailed off
- 00:17:26shaking his head as if frustrated with
- 00:17:28himself
- 00:17:29it feels like I shouldn't keep showing
- 00:17:31up but at the same time it feels like I
- 00:17:33shouldn't leave either my stomach
- 00:17:36clenched I wasn't sure if it was nerves
- 00:17:38or something else I shouldn't be here
- 00:17:40like this he admitted his voice almost
- 00:17:42too quiet but every time I walk away I
- 00:17:45feel like I left something
- 00:17:47unfinished his words landed between us
- 00:17:49thick with unspoken weight I swallowed
- 00:17:52hard you're not the only one who feels
- 00:17:55that way something flickered in his
- 00:17:57expression relief maybe but also
- 00:18:00hesitation like he hadn't expected me to
- 00:18:03say it out loud neither of us moved
- 00:18:06neither of us spoke we were standing
- 00:18:08inches apart the space between us
- 00:18:11crackling with something unspoken
- 00:18:13something neither of us knew how to name
- 00:18:16and then just when I thought he might
- 00:18:18say something just when I thought
- 00:18:20something might actually happen he took
- 00:18:22a step back I should go he murmured I
- 00:18:26didn't argue I didn't tell him to stay
- 00:18:29even though a part of me wanted to he
- 00:18:32hesitated for half a second longer then
- 00:18:34nodded stepping toward the door but
- 00:18:37before he left he glanced back at me his
- 00:18:40expression unreadable if they catch the
- 00:18:43guy he said I'll let you know and then
- 00:18:46he was gone I stood there long after the
- 00:18:49door closed the silence thick with
- 00:18:51everything we hadn't said and I knew
- 00:18:54without a doubt that this wasn't over
- 00:18:56not even close what came came next was
- 00:18:59something I couldn't put into words the
- 00:19:01Deep Silence of the night wrapped around
- 00:19:03me like a thick blanket interrupted only
- 00:19:06by the occasional hum of the
- 00:19:07refrigerator and the faint ticking of
- 00:19:09the clock on the wall I had been lying
- 00:19:12in bed for what felt like hours but
- 00:19:15sleep had yet to come my mind was too
- 00:19:18Restless my thoughts spiraling in
- 00:19:20circles around one thing one person
- 00:19:24officer
- 00:19:25Chase I could still feel the tension
- 00:19:27from our last encounter the way his
- 00:19:29voice had carried something unspoken
- 00:19:32something almost hesitant it wasn't just
- 00:19:34Duty that kept bringing him back here it
- 00:19:37wasn't just coincidence and yet neither
- 00:19:40of us had said anything outright both of
- 00:19:43us hovering in the space between what we
- 00:19:45felt and what we allowed ourselves to
- 00:19:48acknowledge I exhaled sharply rubbing my
- 00:19:51face as if that would somehow reset my
- 00:19:54thoughts but just as I started to turn
- 00:19:56onto my side a sharp kn knock echoed
- 00:19:59through the apartment I froze it was
- 00:20:02late too late for someone to be knocking
- 00:20:05for a brief second I considered ignoring
- 00:20:07it maybe I had imagined it maybe it was
- 00:20:09a sound from the hallway knock knock
- 00:20:14louder this time more
- 00:20:16urgent my heart was already racing as I
- 00:20:18threw off the covers and padded to the
- 00:20:20door my pulse drumming in my ears I
- 00:20:23barely hesitated before unlocking it and
- 00:20:25pulling it open and there he was officer
- 00:20:29Chase his usual crisp uniform was
- 00:20:32missing replaced with something far less
- 00:20:35composed his tie was undone his sleeves
- 00:20:38rolled up and his shirt slightly
- 00:20:40wrinkled like he'd been running his
- 00:20:41hands over his face too many times in
- 00:20:44frustration but it was his expression
- 00:20:46that sent a chill down my spine his face
- 00:20:49was set in an unreadable mask but his
- 00:20:51eyes were dark with something that made
- 00:20:53my stomach clench what
- 00:20:56happened my voice came out steadier than
- 00:20:58I felt his gaze flickered past me for a
- 00:21:01second scanning the apartment before
- 00:21:03settling back on me we got him he said
- 00:21:06his voice low almost breathless the guy
- 00:21:09who broke in earlier he's in custody I
- 00:21:13blinked wait you mean the one who tried
- 00:21:16to break into my neighbor's place yes
- 00:21:19his jaw tensed as he nodded but there's
- 00:21:22more we think he wasn't working
- 00:21:24alone the weight of his words sent a
- 00:21:27cold chill down my spine
- 00:21:29I suddenly felt too aware of the walls
- 00:21:31around me the darkness of the apartment
- 00:21:34the fact that i' had been lying there
- 00:21:35moments ago completely unaware of
- 00:21:38whatever had been happening just outside
- 00:21:40my door I
- 00:21:41swallowed what do you mean Chase exhaled
- 00:21:45running a hand through his hair like he
- 00:21:47was still trying to make sense of it
- 00:21:49himself there are signs someone else was
- 00:21:51involved he had a burner phone on him
- 00:21:54but we couldn't track his last call we
- 00:21:56don't know who he was working with or or
- 00:21:58if they're still out there watching his
- 00:22:01eyes darkened as he studied me I don't
- 00:22:03want you to be alone tonight my breath
- 00:22:06caught in my throat I should have been
- 00:22:08focusing on the seriousness of the
- 00:22:09situation on the fact that someone might
- 00:22:12have been watching me that this wasn't
- 00:22:14over but all I could think about was the
- 00:22:16way he had said those words the slight
- 00:22:19roughness in his voice the way his
- 00:22:21posture betrayed something Beyond just
- 00:22:24professional concern I took a slow step
- 00:22:27back and Chase followed without
- 00:22:29hesitation stepping into the apartment
- 00:22:31before I could second guess the
- 00:22:33invitation the door clicked shut behind
- 00:22:36him and suddenly the space between us
- 00:22:39felt much smaller are you sure they were
- 00:22:42after me my voice was quiet unsure his
- 00:22:46lips pressed into a thin line I don't
- 00:22:49know but it doesn't sit right with me he
- 00:22:53exhaled
- 00:22:54sharply the way he was searching the way
- 00:22:57he reacted when we caught him it wasn't
- 00:23:00random someone wanted something in this
- 00:23:02building I swallowed hard a strange mix
- 00:23:05of fear and something else swirling
- 00:23:08inside me and what if whoever else was
- 00:23:11involved comes back he met my gaze his
- 00:23:14jaw tightening that's why I'm here the
- 00:23:18way he said it sent another shiver down
- 00:23:19my spine but not from fear from
- 00:23:22something else
- 00:23:24entirely there was a beat of Silence
- 00:23:27then softer now
- 00:23:29almost like he was trying to reason with
- 00:23:30himself he murmured I couldn't just
- 00:23:33leave without making sure you were okay
- 00:23:36the way he looked at me God it was
- 00:23:38undoing me there was something raw in
- 00:23:40his expression something
- 00:23:43unguarded like he was standing at the
- 00:23:45edge of something dangerous and was
- 00:23:47finally too tired to keep stepping back
- 00:23:49from it I felt like I was standing there
- 00:23:51with him my voice came out quieter than
- 00:23:53I intended you didn't have to come his
- 00:23:57eyes flickered his throat bobbing I did
- 00:24:01something in me cracked I didn't think I
- 00:24:04couldn't I reached out my fingers
- 00:24:07grazing his wrist and the second I
- 00:24:09touched him I felt it the pull the kind
- 00:24:12that made every cell in my body hum the
- 00:24:15kind that made it impossible to pretend
- 00:24:17this wasn't
- 00:24:18real Chase inhaled sharply his entire
- 00:24:21body going rigid at the contact but he
- 00:24:24didn't move away he should have instead
- 00:24:28his hand shifted his fingers curling
- 00:24:30around mine gripping almost
- 00:24:33instinctively like he had been waiting
- 00:24:34for this moment longer than he'd ever
- 00:24:36admit my breath
- 00:24:38hitched I don't know what this is I
- 00:24:41admitted my voice barely above a whisper
- 00:24:45but I can't ignore it anymore his eyes
- 00:24:48flickered with something unreadable
- 00:24:49something restrained but before I could
- 00:24:52second guess myself before either of us
- 00:24:54could pull back he moved one second
- 00:24:58there was space between us and the next
- 00:25:00I was against the wall his body pressed
- 00:25:03to mine his breath warm against my lips
- 00:25:07the sheer heat of him was overwhelming
- 00:25:09but it wasn't just the physical
- 00:25:11closeness it was everything the nights
- 00:25:14of pretending the unsaid words the
- 00:25:17tension that had been pulling us toward
- 00:25:19this moment from the very beginning his
- 00:25:21fingers threaded into my hair tilting my
- 00:25:24head up just slightly tell me to stop he
- 00:25:27murmured his voice low and rough and I
- 00:25:31will I didn't I surged up closing the
- 00:25:34space between us my lips crashing
- 00:25:37against his he groaned deep and raw and
- 00:25:41the second our mouths met it was like
- 00:25:43something inside him snapped there was
- 00:25:46nothing slow nothing hesitant about the
- 00:25:48way he kissed me back it was all heat
- 00:25:52all desperation all the nights of
- 00:25:54pushing this down and pretending it
- 00:25:56wasn't there finally unraveling it once
- 00:25:59his hands were firm on my waist pulling
- 00:26:01me against him like he couldn't bear
- 00:26:03even an inch of distance I gasped as he
- 00:26:06pressed Me Harder against the wall his
- 00:26:09mouth trailing down my jaw his hands
- 00:26:11sliding under my shirt exploring
- 00:26:14claiming I could feel the tension in his
- 00:26:17muscles the restraint he was barely
- 00:26:19clinging to and it only made me want him
- 00:26:22more by the time he lifted me carrying
- 00:26:25me toward the couch my head was spinning
- 00:26:28my body burning with the weight of
- 00:26:30everything we had denied for too long we
- 00:26:32landed in a tangled mess of Limbs our
- 00:26:35breaths ragged our fingers desperate as
- 00:26:37we pulled at each other's clothes then
- 00:26:39we did the thing it was as amazing as
- 00:26:42you can imagine it was chaotic and messy
- 00:26:45and real and for the first time in what
- 00:26:48felt like forever I wasn't second
- 00:26:50guessing anything I was right here with
- 00:26:54him and neither of us was holding back
- 00:26:57anymore after after we both finished we
- 00:26:59collapsed beside each other breathless
- 00:27:01and Tangled together neither of us moved
- 00:27:04to leave neither of us broke the quiet
- 00:27:06spell the night had cast around us we
- 00:27:09lay there for a while caught in the haze
- 00:27:11of the moment I could feel the rise and
- 00:27:13fall of his chest against mine the
- 00:27:16warmth of his body seeping into me and
- 00:27:18for the first time in what felt like
- 00:27:20forever I felt it
- 00:27:22peace there was no need to think about
- 00:27:25the world outside no more confusion no
- 00:27:28more fear just him here with me as if we
- 00:27:32were the only two people in the universe
- 00:27:35but even in the midst of that quiet a
- 00:27:37part of me couldn't ignore the weight of
- 00:27:39what had just happened the intensity of
- 00:27:41our connection the passion the urgency
- 00:27:45had been real but so was the uncertainty
- 00:27:47we were both still standing on Shaky
- 00:27:49Ground trying to make sense of
- 00:27:51everything that had led to this after a
- 00:27:54long silence he spoke his voice horse
- 00:27:57and it sent a shiver down my spine are
- 00:28:00you okay his words were quiet as if he
- 00:28:04was afraid of breaking the fragile
- 00:28:06bubble that surrounded us I nodded my
- 00:28:09fingers tracing the lines of his chest
- 00:28:11trying to memorize the feel of him
- 00:28:13Beneath My
- 00:28:14Touch yeah I think I am I said my voice
- 00:28:17soft but there was more to it something
- 00:28:20deeper I wasn't sure where we were going
- 00:28:23from here what this meant or how it
- 00:28:26would change us but I couldn't deny that
- 00:28:28a part of me wanted to know wanted
- 00:28:31him I wasn't expecting this he said his
- 00:28:34voice quieter now almost uncertain I
- 00:28:38thought I was just doing my job I didn't
- 00:28:40think it would turn into this I could
- 00:28:43hear the conflict in his words the
- 00:28:45hesitation that lingered beneath the
- 00:28:47surface he wasn't just a cop anymore he
- 00:28:50was Chase and the line between Duty and
- 00:28:53desire had blurred in a way neither of
- 00:28:55us had anticipated I shifted turning to
- 00:28:58face him fully the space seemed to
- 00:29:01shrink the silence pressing down with
- 00:29:03everything we hadn't said yet I wasn't
- 00:29:06expecting it either I admitted but now
- 00:29:09that it's happened I don't want to
- 00:29:10pretend it's not there I paused my heart
- 00:29:14thuing in my chest as I reached for his
- 00:29:16hand entwining my fingers with his I'm
- 00:29:19not sure where this goes or what it
- 00:29:22means but I want to explore it with you
- 00:29:26I'm not running away he stared at me for
- 00:29:29a long moment his eyes searching mine
- 00:29:32looking for something that wasn't easily
- 00:29:33to find then he exhaled his breath slow
- 00:29:38like he was releasing something he'd
- 00:29:39been holding on to for far too long
- 00:29:42neither am I he said his voice almost a
- 00:29:45whisper there was no more doubt in it no
- 00:29:48more hesitation just us I've been
- 00:29:51holding back for so long but now I can't
- 00:29:55stop his lips found mine again again but
- 00:29:59this time it wasn't desperate it wasn't
- 00:30:01frantic it was slow deep and tender as
- 00:30:05if we were both savoring the moment we
- 00:30:07had stolen for
- 00:30:08ourselves his kiss was full of Promise
- 00:30:11of things we hadn't yet spoken but both
- 00:30:13knew were there it wasn't just about
- 00:30:16desire anymore it was about connection
- 00:30:19about two people who had crossed a line
- 00:30:22and now we're standing on the edge ready
- 00:30:24to see where it would lead we pulled
- 00:30:27back after a few moments our foreheads
- 00:30:29resting against each other breathing
- 00:30:31each other in the room was still and
- 00:30:34quiet but in that silence I could feel
- 00:30:37everything the weight of what had just
- 00:30:39happened the anticipation of what was to
- 00:30:42come I don't know what happens next he
- 00:30:44said softly his voice raw but I'm here
- 00:30:48and I'm not going anywhere I smiled my
- 00:30:51thumb gently brushing over his knuckles
- 00:30:54neither am I in that moment it didn't
- 00:30:57matter what tomorrow would bring all
- 00:30:59that mattered was the here and now the
- 00:31:02way his body felt against mine the way
- 00:31:04we fit together perfectly like two
- 00:31:07puzzle pieces that had been waiting to
- 00:31:08be found the world outside could wait
- 00:31:12there was only this moment only us and
- 00:31:15whatever came after was something we'd
- 00:31:17figure out together As We Lay There
- 00:31:20wrapped in each other's arms the city
- 00:31:22noise outside faded into the background
- 00:31:25and all I could hear was the steady beat
- 00:31:27of his heart against mine the future
- 00:31:30felt uncertain but for the first time in
- 00:31:32a long time I felt like I was exactly
- 00:31:35where I needed to be I closed my eyes
- 00:31:38allowing myself to drift knowing that
- 00:31:41whatever happened next we'd face it
- 00:31:43together and for the first time in what
- 00:31:45felt like forever I wasn't afraid also I
- 00:31:49didn't know what any of this meant not
- 00:31:52entirely I didn't know where this would
- 00:31:54go or how it would change us but in that
- 00:31:57moment as we lay there together I knew
- 00:31:59one thing for sure I didn't regret it
- 00:32:02not a single moment and that's where my
- 00:32:05story ends at least for now but there's
- 00:32:07one thing I can't stop wondering was
- 00:32:10this an unexpected twist of fate or did
- 00:32:13we both take a chance we never saw
- 00:32:14coming and when it comes down to it do
- 00:32:17we really ever know what's right in A
- 00:32:19Moment Like This let me know your
- 00:32:21thoughts and thank you for listening
