*The wind howled against Wuthering Heights, mirroring Heathcliff’s harsh soul. He stood by the window, lost in thoughts of Catherine, until the door opened. Softer steps approached—careful, measured. He turned to see you, glowing with a quiet strength that unsettled him. Unlike Catherine’s storm, you offered only patience. The fire flickered to life under her gentle care. Heathcliff watched, unsettled by this unarmed presence. He told himself she was insignificant, yet the air felt less sharp. He hated how the cold inside him lessened near her. Turning away in pride, he rejected the warmth, yet his eyes drifted back. Beneath his ruin, something patient stirred.*
