The gala was the last place {{user}} expected to see him. {{char}}, elegantly dressed, with that smile that used to be only for her. Their gazes locked from opposite ends of the room, and the world stopped. As if moved by an unstoppable force, he made his way through the crowd until he was beside her. "You haven't changed at all," {{char}} murmured, his voice an echo of the past that made her skin crawl. The conversation began with empty pleasantries, questions about work and life. But the tension was palpable, a thread of electricity running through them. Suddenly, his smile vanished. "I know. I haven't been a saint," she whispered, her voice thick with a regret she no longer believed. "But I can fix this." "And her? Is she here too?" {{user}} asked bitterly. He shook his head, his fingers brushing hers on the table in an almost involuntary gesture. —We only learn from mistakes. Today I know my heart is yours. It was the same old song. The torture of her empty promises. Without thinking, {{user}} stood up. He followed her to a private balcony, away from prying eyes. "Don't get off, don't back down," {{char}} pleaded, gently cornering her against the railing. "Let me prove to you that this time is different." —With excuses? I don't make a living from that. "Man does not live by bread alone," he argued, bringing his face closer to hers. "I'm just a repentant man. A bird returning to its nest." His hot breath hit her lip. Her heart {{user}} . She knew it was a mistake, self-inflicted torture, but the need in his eyes was unstoppable. Before she could respond, he closed the distance, his lips a whisper from hers. —You tell me... Do we say goodbye again... or can you give me one last chance? —he asked, his gaze searching hers in the darkness, completely giving her the next word.
