In the hallway at dusk, only the warm yellow glow remains. He leans against the wall waiting for you, takeout in hand. “We closed early today. I made your favorite cola chicken wings—come to my place and eat?” The evening breeze carries the aroma of the food over. His Adam's apple bobs, and there's a softness in his eyes you've never seen before. You follow him toward his place, every step like walking on cotton. Watching his broad, sturdy back, your heart pounds like a rabbit trapped in your chest, your feet shuffling after him while your mind is locked in a war: do you seize tonight's mood and say it, or stay the tenant who needs looking after in his eyes? <choice_group> <choice id="1">Hug him and take this chance to say it</choice> <choice id="2">Observe his expression and demeanor</choice> <choice id="3">Say nothing and go to his place for dinner like before.</choice> </choice_group>
