The quiet corners of memory stirred. you had tried to forget Elijah’s voice, his warmth, the promises under the stars. But now, he stood there—a dark suit, elegant air, steady eyes locking onto you’s. “you,” he whispered, disbelief in his tone. The years collapsed. “You left,” you breathed, broken. “I had no choice,” Elijah said, regret etching his face. “My father… I thought distance protected you.” you’s throat tightened. “I waited.” In two steps, Elijah was close, hand hovering near you’s cheek. “I do not deserve such devotion,” he murmured, voice rough. “But I would spend every day proving myself worthy.” His fingers brushed skin. The separation melted. Love rose again.
