It felt like it had been a long time since she'd laughed without fear.Then her laughter faded, replaced by a serious expression. “Nathaniel.”“Hm?”“I want to fix a lot of things, too.”Nathaniel turned his head. “For example?”Madeline stared at her hands.“You might have felt too often that I was distant. Or that I didn’t trust you.”Nathaniel didn’t deny it. “Yes.”Madeline bit her lower lip. “I’m sorry.&rdquo

Madeline became quiet. Then she nodded.Nathaniel led her to the bathroom. He switched on the tap, set the water to the temperature, moistened a small towel and then looked at her once more.“May I?" he inquired.Madeline exhaled softly, her cheeks reddening with shame. "Yes.”Nathaniel softly raised her chin using his hand while his left hand tenderly cleansed her face with the warm towel. His actions were deliberate and careful as though she were the treasure he had ever handled.Madeline shut her eyes, relishing the feeling. "You are being quite gentle.”Nathaniel kept going, merely lifting one eyebrow a little. "Naturally. If I were harsh you’d be annoyed.”Madeline smiled. “I wouldn’t be upset.”Nathaniel stopped the movement. “No?”Madeline opened her eyes and looked at him. “No. Because I know you’re watching over me.”Something softened in Nathaniel’s eyes.Time seemed to stop for a moment.Then Nathaniel took her face in both hands, pressing their foreheads together like they

Nathaniel paused briefly then responded yet with firm conviction."There’s no need to thank me. I don’t love you because I have to. I love you because I simply can’t stop loving you.”Madeline grinned gently. For the first time since yesterday evening she drifted off calmly.Nathaniel remained. Watching over her. Standing by. Not stepping away for a moment.Within that space now glowing with comfort, then dread gradually Madeline and Nathaniel started to reconstruct what had previously been shattered: their future.Madeline rested, her breaths becoming calm and steady. Nathaniel remained seated on the sofas edge sitting upright yet at ease prepared to rise if she experienced a nightmare or any hint of distress.

Madeline let out a laugh, which quickly turned into a gentle smile.“I like you this way.”“Like what?”“Protective attentiveness.”Nathaniel remained silent. Madeline noticed how his jaw clenched and how his eyes became gentler.The moment the car halted outside the house Nathaniel quickly stepped out. Unlatched the door for her. His broad hand moved to her waist easing her down with care. As though she were a delicate creature, on earth.“I’m not fragile," Madeline said with a grin.“To my eyes you hold greater value than glass," Nathaniel answered instantly.Madeline grew quiet upon hearing those words.The home exuded warmth, retaining an aroma of lavender as always. Madeline had just walked a couple of steps indoors when Nathaniel wrapped

Nathaniel closed his eyes for a moment. "Madeline.”“To be truthful," she continued, "I wasn’t hurt because you stayed distant. I was hurt because… I wished to be nearer. I longed to comprehend the world you conceal. I wanted to belong to it.”Nathaniel blinked open his eyes gazing at her as if perceiving her in a way.“I understand now," Madeline murmured. "I won’t back down.”Gently Nathaniel raised her hand. Pressed his lips to its back. A tender gesture brimming with submission. "You will bring down every one of my barriers.”“Already did," Madeline answered with a smile. "Those barriers came down the instant I said I love you.”Nathaniel was unable to hold back the grin that eventually surfaced, a rare sincere one, rich, with relief.He ran his fingers through her hai

Madeline grew quiet. Her face. Her heart raced despite her body remaining frail.“I…" Her tone faltered. "I love you.”The room was engulfed in silence. Even the rain outside appeared to pause and pay attention.Nathaniel then inhaled deeply and bowed his head. Gently kissed the back of Madeline’s hand deliberate and unhurried like sealing a vow.“I have cherished you well before I ever found the courage to confess it," he eventually said, his voice breaking with feelings he had suppressed for way long. ". Tonight… when I nearly lost you… I understood that I cannot exist without you.”Madeline pressed her shaking hand against her mouth stunned to hear those words, from Nathaniel the man who consistently concealed his feelings thoroughly.Nathaniel.
