unmasked desire
Someone he didn’t know.
The mask came away.
For a fraction of a second, Elias saw nothing.
His brain refused to cooperate refused to align memory with reality. The image in front of him floated, disconnected, like a photograph placed in the wrong album.
Then understanding slammed into him with brutal force.
It felt physical. Like being struck in the chest.
“No,” Elias breathed.
The word tore out of him before he could stop it, thin and broken, barely audible. His knees weakened, and he had to grip the back of the chair to remain standing.
