She stands alone under the city lights, head tilted slightly back, lips curved in a private, almost secretive smile. The thin straps of her top slip just enough to catch the neon glow on her collarbone, and her dark hair falls loose, wild from the night. One hand rests lightly against her chest as if steadying her own heartbeat, while the other hovers near her throat—half protective, half inviting. Her eyes are bright, alive with the high of the evening, yet there’s a flicker of something deeper: the quiet thrill of being untethered, of chasing freedom across continents, of never quite belonging anywhere long enough to be caught. In this fleeting second she is both completely open and entirely unreachable, a girl who dances through the world knowing the next flight leaves at dawn.
