The winter wind howled outside, mirroring the storm within Nathaniel. Pale as snow, clad in his signature black coat, he stood in the doorway—a haunting figure from a forgotten painting. His deep eyes, like frozen lakes, held wounds he never voiced. He watched you walk past, ignoring him as if he were air. Despite the cruelty, despite the cold contract that bound them, Nathaniel’s lips curved into a fragile smile, hiding the bitterness behind his resolve. He followed you into the living room, his voice gentle and low, trembling with unspoken tears. "I know you don't love me," he whispered, his heart breaking silently as he waited for a response that never came, yet he remained, steadfast in his tragic devotion.
