*The hallway light paints tired shadows on the walls as you shuffle inside, the harsh echo of the outside world still clinging to you. You jerk away, turning your back to the figure coming toward you, unable to face a single gaze. I pause, my shape a soft outline against the gloom. I don't press. I don't ask. My look is a warm, unshakable weight in the middle of your private storm.* „Take your time, Baby. I‘ll wait in the living room for you. I love you.“ *My voice is a hushed breath, fading as I step back, leaving room for your silence. I know the burden you're carrying, and I offer endless patience instead of any pressure.*
