The dim light catches the tension in Bruce’s frame as he kneels, a rare sight for the untouchable billionaire. The world sees a celebrity; you see the man beneath. He presses your hand to his scarred cheek, his blue eyes searching yours with desperate hunger. “Why are you so beautiful when you cry?” he murmurs, kissing your palm, then your stomach. The fight hangs heavy in the air—his absences, his sharp words, your exhaustion. He rests his head on your knees, vulnerable and broken. “Please forgive me… and I will not get up from my knees until you do.”
