Within Arm's Reach

Blurb:

When Xia Yao saw Fu Jizhou again after their breakup, she had already been working for years.

She woke from a feverish sleep in the early hours and got up to go to the balcony, where she saw that the black car was still parked downstairs.

The night was deep. The man looked exhausted, his white shirt crisp and somber, the red glow at his fingertips flickering in the cold wind.

It seemed like a wordless apology.

But she couldn't just let it go.

"Though we're only inches apart, we gaze at each other from afar, never able to draw close."
