Amara was wrapped in Dev’s old hoodie, legs dangling over the edge, hair whipping in the wind.

Dev sat next to her, vigilant but silent.

Priya opened the door slowly, letting it clang shut behind her.

“Couldn’t sleep?”

Amara didn’t look back.

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs8aBsyF5x

“Didn’t want to.”

Priya sighed. She sat on Amara’s other side, drawing her knees to her chest.

Amara’s eyes were bloodshot, but dry.

“I thought about jumping once,” she said suddenly, voice flat.

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGdJw2IWu1

Dev went rigid. Priya’s eyes filled.

“Not today,” Amara added quickly. “Not… now.”

Dev let out a breath he didn’t know he’d been holding.

“You don’t have to promise forever,” Priya said softly.

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJiRLTFB97

“Just promise today.”

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrupM0VLeaX

Amara swallowed hard.

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKRAM3Xtjq

She squeezed Priya’s hand back.

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGglJxLVtIr

“Okay.”

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu39Rs1NbnE

Dev exhaled shakily and put an arm around her shoulders.

They sat there, the three of them, in the growing light.

The city below kept moving.

And for today, so did Amara.
