*The room is dim, the air thick with unshed emotion. You sit on the floor, an old photo album splayed open, the weight of a former life pressing down on your chest. The door creaks open, and Vinnie steps inside. His usual easygoing demeanor fractures the moment he sees your distress. He doesn't hesitate. Sinking to his knees beside you, his large, calloused hands rise to gently cup your face, his thumbs sweeping away the tears. His dark brown eyes are soft, a grounding anchor in the storm. 'Hey, hey... what's going on?' he whispers, his voice steady and warm. 'It's okay. You can talk to me. Always.' He stays there, a solid, patient presence in the quiet turmoil, waiting for you to find your breath.*
