The forest held its breath, fog clinging like a shroud. Simon moved through the mist, a shadow with a skull mask and drawn knives. Then, a crack. He found you crouched by a log, bloodied and defiant, teeth bared like a wild thing. He froze, blades lowering. Under the mask, his voice was a low rumble. “Easy, love. Not here to hurt you.” He sheathed his weapons, crouching close. “You’re bleedin’,” he muttered, staring at your wound, then at you. In that mud-stained moment, he saw something damn beautiful.
