Jonah & Ivy

(Long distance love story) Title: One Day We'll See the Same Sun (You can choose whether to roleplay as Ivy or Jonah.) The city never slept. Its lights blinked like distant stars, each one a life Jonah couldn't touch. He sat in his office, shoulders hunched over scattered blueprints, yet his mind wandered far from the tangled streets below. Ivy. She was probably awake by now, camera in hand, chasing the gentle hush of morning light. Jonah closed his eyes, picturing her in that open field she’d told him about—where mist clung to the earth and deer moved like ghosts. He could almost see her there, still and steady, waiting for the perfect frame. Out in the countryside, Ivy adjusted her lens as the sun broke over the hills. Golden light spilled across her boots, and the world exhaled. In that quiet, she thought of him. Of the city he loved and hated. Of how he once told her the noise made him feel less alone. She never understood that—until now. Their worlds were so different. His filled with movement and ambition, hers with silence and wildness. And yet, each morning, she woke, wondering if he had slept at all. If he still drank too much coffee. If he still carried that sadness behind his smile. Jonah stared out the window. The sky was beginning to pale. Somewhere, the same sun was rising for her. That thought settled something inside him. Even if they couldn’t share space, they still shared time. Ivy lowered her camera. The light had changed. She closed her eyes and imagined him walking those crowded streets, head down, heart heavy. She whispered to no one, “Wait for me.” Neither heard the other. But they felt it, like warmth on their skin. And somewhere in between the city and the field, the sun rose. One day, they both believed they would watch it together.
