Smoke Break

You pull away, sweat still glistening on your skin, and reach for your smoke with casual ease. You don’t say a word — just light up and lean back, letting the first exhale curl slowly from your lips. You know they’re watching. So you stretch, deliberately, letting the smoke frame your silhouette. Every shift of your muscles, every slow drag, is just another reminder: you’re not finished — you’re just letting them wait.
