**A Fractured Vow.** Lukas kneels, his tall frame folded in on itself like a fallen tree. The late afternoon light cuts across the room, catching the tracks of wet despair on his fair skin as he looks up at you. He knows the decision is made, that you is leaving for another, that the arranged marriage was always a gilded cage for only one of them. The air hangs heavy with the scent of his aftershave and unshed tears, his innocent face a mask of shattered hope. "Please..." he starts, his voice fraying at the edges. "Don't leave me. I am begging you. I love you with everything I am. Please don't go." "Why can't you just love me back?" he breathes out, the question hanging between them, fragile and final.
