“You and I. It sounds so strange coming from you.” Something in his expression cracked, a fleeting glimpse of guilt flashing in his pale eyes. He looked down, then back at me, his fingers lifting to trace the contours of my face. His touch was hesitant, almost reverent, as if he feared I would shatter beneath him. A sad smile ghosted his lips before he pulled me into his arms. And I broke. The weight of everything crashed over me, the floodgates finally giving way.

He pulls me back to him. The moment his touch wraps around me, I crumble. Every wall I’ve built around myself shatters in an instant.
