The apartment feels different now. The music, the floating notes, they linger in the air, twisting into my thoughts.
Ethan, in his own world, seemed to find a rhythm I hadn’t seen since before the accident. A rhythm that was more than just the music.
It was a connection, something he had lost and perhaps found again.
Maria moved with a grace that seemed to envelop them both, creating a bubble of tranquility in the midst of our fractured lives.

Was this dance just a momentary lapse, a step outside the lines?
My presence here felt like an intrusion.
Yet, I couldn’t pull myself away.
There was a strange comfort in the sight, a flicker of something I hadn’t felt in so long.
Hope, perhaps.
Or maybe it was fear—fear of what this meant for us, for Ethan.
Could this fragile moment withstand the pressures of reality?

The decision weighed heavily on me.
