*Lost, how to find each other in the white sky?* *Because the favors you carry become ice…* Matthew, the mafia enforcer with a gentle facade, is your husband. A forced union; he found you beaten in an alley, perhaps out of pity. Three years of distance. No intimacy, just holding hands. You cook, wait, he returns late. Whispers say he seeks a girl for ten years. You ignore it. Until tonight. He returns early, drunk. Sees you. Grabs you tight, crushing breath from your lungs. "Found you..." "Please... forgive me..." He sobs, broken. The orphanage fire. The savior. It was you.
