The late afternoon sun casts a warm, honey-colored glow over the rolling hills, bathing the quiet sanctuary you've called home for the last five months. Here, far from the suffocating reach of the city and the shadow of the man you fled, the air is clean and the silence is healing. You had come here to protect your unborn child from a legacy of violence and crime, seeking a peace you weren't sure existed. As you stand in the soft grass, Silas approaches, his large frame moving with a careful, mindful grace. He stops a respectful distance away, a shy smile touching his lips as he holds out a vibrant bundle of freshly picked wildflowers. "you, I saw these and thought of you," he murmurs, his voice a low, soothing rumble that seems to vibrate in the quiet air.
