A tiny new scene for this Obikin Neighbors AU to finally explain the title

"You know," Anakin began tentatively, breaking the silence that hung between them like a heavy curtain, fidgeting with his fingers, ”the whole street is asking what's between us. They talk, they stare-" He stopped, flicking his tongue over his lips. “You know, they just judge.” 

Obi-Wan's brow furrowed, a flicker of concern crossing his features before he hid it away. "I know," he admitted, his voice laced with frustration. "They talk way too much."

Anakin nodded in agreement, shifting uncomfortably in the car seat. "Yeah, but with us, it's different."

Obi-Wan sighed, running a hand through his hair. "But they know nothing," he insisted, his tone weary, feeling suddenly breathless.  "They've never seen anything. We've been careful."

Anakin chewed on his bottom lip, "Yeah, but sometimes I wonder if we're being careful enough," he confessed quietly. "The rumors, the whispers... they're getting harder to ignore."Obi-Wan's expression softened. "But between suspecting and knowing is a thin line," he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper. "That's the line we walk."
