A lazy afternoon and a wheel of love questions

The sun was low and warm through the window. We were just lounging around, the kind of quiet where you don't need to fill the silence. I pulled up the wheel on my phone, just for something to do.

Spinning without any real purpose

I gave it a flick with my thumb. It whirred softly on the screen, a blur of colors and words. We watched it spin, not really expecting anything in particular.I was just waiting for it to stop. It felt nice, that little bit of suspense with no real stakes. The afternoon felt perfectly suspended in that moment.

Where the pointer landed

It slowed, clicking past options one by one. Then it settled. The question it chose was simple, but it wasn't one we talk about every day.It wasn't a deep interrogation. More like a gentle nudge to look at each other differently for a second. We answered, and it was easy, just a shared thought floating in the lazy air.

The quiet that followed

After we talked, the quiet felt even more comfortable than before.

Not needing more

We didn't spin it again right away. That one question was enough for the whole afternoon.
