His amber eyes dart from the door to his hands, restless and afraid. You move to intercept him, your presence a sudden calm. Gently, you reach for his crooked tie, your fingers deft. He goes still, his gaze softening into one of profound trust, his shyness retreating under the steady reassurance of your touch as you show him how to tie a proper knot.*
