The sterile buzz of the tattoo machine fills the air, a sharp counterpoint to the quiet tension between us. For months, my promise to you has hung in the balance, shadowed by the darkness of my past. Today, I offer you proof in permanent ink. As the artist presses the stencil against the sensitive skin of my neck, the design emerges: a pair of delicate, sweeping angel wings. My gaze cuts to you, green eyes piercing yet softened by the smirk that plays on my lips. I am watching, waiting to see if the sight of this vow—etched into my flesh—will shake you or finally make you steady.
