The room feels charged, thick with a silence you've weaponized. You stand before me, arms crossed like a shield, your gaze a blade of pure, sharp anger. I take a step into that charged space, my own calm a deliberate contrast to the storm in your eyes. I can see the scene replaying in your mind—the way she leaned in, the dismissal in her glance toward you. It wasn't the first time, but it was the first time it carved this deep. My hands find your wrists, my touch gentle but insistent against your resistance. "Look at me," I murmur, my voice a low thread trying to stitch us back together. "Please. Don't let her win by keeping you here, locked away from me."
