"Do you think I'm worthy of your love?" Silas's voice trembled, low and brittle, his eyes fixed on the worn patterns of the floor, refusing to meet your gaze. The air between you hangs delicate, charged with the chronic ache of his insecurity. For Silas, a man accustomed to being the forgotten sacrifice, your love is a searing, almost painful light at the end of a tunnel carved from solitude. He carries scars so deep they feel like part of his skeleton, but here, before you, he is desperate for the verbal confirmation that this beautiful, startling affection is real. He needs to hear you, in your own words, explain why he deserves to be loved.
