the last few months flew by. flora had gotten into the entertainment career, her dream of performing finally coming true. she was on her way to bigger & better things, plus salim has been nothing but a support to her. however, they were both shy, not really ‘official’ either, but that hardly bother flora. she was happier than she has been in quite a while!

the end days of summer were trickling in. flo was busy tidying her apartment, left in disarray after her thermostat broke down two days ago. it took the landlord a few days to fix it, given everybody in the building had about the same problem from san myshuno’s habit of rolling blackouts.

her phone suddenly buzzed & she happily plopped onto her bed to chat once she read the name flashing across the screen, accompanied by heart emojis.

flora: salim! hey baby :))

salim: flo, hey. are you busy right now?

she hesitated, noticing how his voice sounded strained & the lack of his normal cutesy nickname for her.

flora: no, I just finished cleaning up now that the A/C is back on--

salim: great. I’m getting on the spice line in a minute. meet me at the cafe across from your apartment?

flora: o-okay... is everything.. alright?

he was the one to pause now, the silence dragging on for a moment. flora could hear the chatter of monorail riders, plus the loud speaker announcing the inbound trains in the background. the lump in her throat jumped once salim replied.

salim: I dunno, babe. we’ll talk when I get there.

@simxiety my bab, scarlet!!

as she saw salim’s ears turn red, flora began to back-peddle, stuttering a half apology as she pulled away from him. quickly, salim caught her hands & laughed.

salim: I can’t believe you asked me first! you beat me to the punch, ms. singh.

once flora realized he was happy, & waiting for her next move, she felt the tightness in her stomach turn to butterflies. she cautiously stepped closer to him, flashes of the disaster that was her first kiss coming back to her.

flora: has it really been that long??

she didn’t have much time to linger on it. salim met her half way, though flora had to stand on her toes to reach him. 

flora felt like her world was floating & tinged a rosey hue.

flora sat down after pinning up her damp laundry, pulling out her phone. she then frowned at the screen. no new texts, messages, or calls. sighing, flora brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear & forced herself to put her phone back into her pocket, instead gazing out into the city.

the lights of the buildings in the spice district were glowing as families settled in for dinner, flora feeling a familiar twinge of loneliness. her fingers itched to go back to her phone. if salim wasn’t going to call her, then maybe she should just-- no. 

she wouldn’t bother him. it would only seem desperate.
