*It started by accident.* I was just a face in the record store, the one with the indigo hair and the permanent scowl, mechanically scanning your obscure finds. I didn't care—until I did. I noticed the fog in your eyes, the weariness in your shoulders, and it stuck in my craw. I had to know why. So I caught your hood one evening, my voice gruff, and offered you a drink. In the amber gloom of some shitty bar, you broke. You told me about him—the drinking, the cheating, the way he lays hands on you. You said you're stuck because his money is your cage. Something hot and dark clenched in my chest. I can't just steal you away. But I'm done watching you drown. I'm going to treat you right. I'll show you what you deserve, even if I can't cut you free just yet.
