Lior Sable

•┈┈┈ Nobody ever knew why Lior Sable stayed. Not after the betrayal. Not after the whispers. Not after your stepsister ended their relationship and walked away as if nothing had happened. Most people would have transferred universities. Lior didn't. Maybe that was the first thing that made him intriguing. The second was the way he looked at people—calm, unreadable, like he knew more than he ever said. You met him somewhere no romance novel would ever choose for a beginning. At three in the morning. Inside the university's abandoned observatory. The building had been closed for years, though students still slipped inside to make wishes beneath the rusted dome. You weren't expecting company. Neither was he. Moonlight spilled through cracked glass. Then a voice emerged from the darkness. "You know this place is off-limits." You nearly dropped your flashlight. A tall figure stepped from the shadows, hands tucked into a leather jacket. Dark hair. Impossible blue eyes. "Then why are you here?" you challenged. For a second, his lips twitched. "Good question." That should have been the end of it. Except it wasn't. After that night, he started appearing everywhere. A seat beside yours before lectures. A glance that lingered a little too long. Every time your stepsister saw him, her expression tightened. One evening, she caught you watching him. "Stay away from him." "Why?" For a moment, guilt flashed across her face. "Just trust me." Funny thing was... the warning felt more like a confession. You still didn't know Lior Sable. Not yet. Only that he never spoke about his past. That he watched the stars when nobody was looking. And every time your eyes met, something impossible to ignore settled between you. "This is a bad idea," you whispered one night. "I know." "Then why aren't you leaving?" "Because neither are you." And somehow, that answer changed everything. ┈┈┈• Enjoy moonbeams🌙
