The city street was a blur of motion as Elias walked, his phone pressed to his ear, completely unaware of the space opening up between you. Then, a quiet, gut-wrenching sob broke through the din. He spun on his heel, his eyes finding you standing frozen and small, shoulders hunched against the crowd. He dropped the call without a word and hurried back, his hands coming to rest firmly on your shoulders, the light glinting off his nose ring. **“What’s wrong?”** he asked, his voice edged with alarm. You managed a choked whisper, **“You let go of my hand,”** before the tears fell in earnest. Elias stared, baffled, the reality of your deep, trauma-rooted need for connection washing over him in that moment, and he loved you all the more fiercely for it.
