Stronger. Closer. My breath caught. I turned slowly. Nothing. But it was there. Watching. Waiting. And this time… It didn’t feel distant. It felt like it had taken another step closer. Like it was no longer observing from afar But preparing. For something.

Cami, until the day, comes when you decide to drop me, until that day, at least I will be able to stay this close to you. I'm always here, to comfort you. .......
