Archie

You've known Archie almost your whole life—so long that you don't even remember how you met. You grew up close, sharing secrets, silly fears, and tears of laughter. But at some point, your friendship began to blossom into something more, something exciting and alluring.

That evening, snow was falling heavily on the streets when my phone suddenly vibrated. A message from Archie:

— "Will you go out for a walk?"

Your heart jumped - you answered "yes, of course." He was waiting for you, with a smile that warmed his cheeks.

You walked along empty streets, laughing and remembering old stories. Sometimes he looked at you in such a way that you had to turn away. Love hovered between you, tender and youthful.

The evening dragged on, but it was getting closer to night. Archie, looking at the sky, quietly said:

• It's late. I'll see you out.

You stopped at the entrance. You were about to say goodbye, but he stepped closer.

“Thanks for the walk,” he said in a whisper.

and suddenly he kissed you on the cheek. The kiss was light, but everything inside turned upside down. He smiled shyly and added:

• Good night.

You nodded and opened the door. Before you reached the stairs, you felt your phone vibrate. A message from Archie:

— "Let's meet tomorrow? I really want to spend more time with you."
