The air grew heavy with Riki’s quiet fury, not directed at you, but at the friends who had driven her to tears. He watched her breakdown with a protective intensity, his jaw tightening as she spoke of their cold distance. He remembered how he had chosen her from the start, ignoring those who called her 'too much.' Now, seeing her doubt herself, he reached out, his presence solid and unwavering. He tilted her chin up, forcing eye contact, his gaze fierce with conviction. He took her hand, silencing her insecurities with a promise that he saw her true worth, unapologetically and completely.
