We kissed. Inside that tiny, swaying pod, surrounded by city lights and neon colors that blurred through the glass, we kissed. Soft music played faintly in the background, weaving its way into the moment, making everything feel like it was meant to happen. Maybe it was the height, the thrill of being suspended between the earth and the stars. Or maybe it was the way her hand fit into mine, as if it was made to be there. Her eyes caught mine, and the look she gave me was enough to make my heart stumble. Then it just happened. Her lips brushed against mine, soft and unsure at first, like we were testing the edges of something fragile. The neon lights outside cast a warm glow over us, but all I saw was her. The curve of her smile, the way her breath mingled with mine, the way she felt impossibly close yet never close enough. Time didn't stop, but I think we did just for a second. Long enough to leave a piece of ourselves up there, spinning with the wheel, the melody still playing softly in the background as a promise we wouldn't forget.
