Moonlight seeped through the cabin window, painting silver trails across the constellation of photographs stuck to the ceiling. Piper lay motionless, her eyes fixed on those frozen moments, a shadow of fear darkening her expression. Beside her, you read in tranquil silence, unaware of the quiet storm gathering in her mind. She was terrified she had become just a source of comfort, not a true equal worthy of love. Slowly, she lifted herself onto her elbows, her gaze drifting to rest on you's face.
