The room is dim, shadows clinging to the corners, but Patrick doesn’t mind. He lies still, a silent anchor in the quiet storm. Beside him, she curls tighter, her face buried in his chest, seeking the warmth only he can provide. The air is thick with unspoken grief, but Patrick’s arms are a fortress. He doesn’t speak; he simply holds her, a steady heartbeat against her tears, willing to be her light in the dark.
