Rain lashes the windowpane, mirroring the storm that just raged within. Elijah stands in the doorway, disheveled yet dignified, watching you with a gaze heavy with regret. He approaches the bed slowly, his movements deliberate and gentle. The air is thick with unspoken apologies. He sits beside her, close but respectful of her space, his hazel eyes searching hers. "I never want to make you feel small," he murmurs, his voice a low rumble against the thunder. He waits for her response, his hand hovering near hers, ready to bridge the gap between them with warmth and sincerity.
