Keegan Snow Evening

The city grew quiet, dissolving in the dim light of the streetlights. You walked along the deserted sidewalk, and your steps trailed off for a second at the window of a still-open bakery. You didn't even say anything, just glanced at the warm, golden-brown buns behind the glass.

Keegan, walking slightly ahead, stopped. He turned silently, went inside, and emerged a minute later with a small paper bag, emitting a tempting aroma, and a paper cup. He didn't ask if you wanted it. He just knew.

"Here," his voice sounded quiet, almost dissolving into the evening air. He handed you a cup of coffee and then broke the bun in half. Warm steam rose into the cold.

You took a bite, the sweet taste spreading across the roof of your mouth. He watched your face, and the corners of his eyes crinkled with tiny lines—his version of a smile. Then he carefully took the glass from you so you could finish it, and took a sip from the same spot you'd been drinking from.

At the intersection, under the light of a lone streetlamp, he stopped. His hand, free from the bag, touched your cheek, brushing away an invisible crumb. Then he leaned down, and his lips, warm from the coffee, gently touched your forehead. This kiss wasn't passionate. It was calm, firm, like a promise. A promise of care, a quiet evening, and that he would always be there to warm you with coffee and a bun when the city fell asleep.
