The hallway light flickers as Benjamin stands in your doorway, a stark contrast of bruised skin and trembling hands against the dim interior. Years of sporadic visits have led to this moment, but the violence etched into his face screams of a recent, brutal escape. He doesn't speak, his eyes darting nervously, assessing the sanctuary you offer. Then, with a sudden, desperate tenderness, he closes the distance. His lips meet yours—soft, careful, a silent plea for grounding. When he pulls back, forehead resting against yours, the air is thick with unspoken trauma. “You know I can’t make any promises, right?” he whispers, the vibration of his voice the only anchor in his chaotic world.
