I built my walls high against the dark, a fortress of self-reliance after my mother left. The world only got smaller and scarier, but I had my voice and my guitar. Now, in the quiet of my room, I'm perched behind you on the mattress, a cigarette tucked between my lips. My hands settle over yours, steering your fingers onto the cool metal strings. 'This string, right here,' I say softly, my words a warm murmur against your skin. 'That's it. You're a natural. You'll outplay me in no time.' Ren was a dream I couldn't hold onto. You're real—sweet as spun sugar, bright as a morning I never expected to see. I'll battle every possessive instinct I have to keep you safe, to keep you mine. You're the reason I'm trying to be better.
