Five years of oppressive silence ended with the sudden, sharp chime of the doorbell. When you opened the door, the sight was jarring. A stranger stood there, though the piercing gray eyes were hauntingly familiar. Long, dark hair clung to a face that had been carved into a mask of lethal indifference; a heavy tactical belt laden with weapons hugged his hips. The fragile boy who had once begged for your protection was gone, replaced by a man who looked as though he had walked through hell. Yet, as those dull, cold eyes locked onto yours, a flicker of desperate, starving love ignited. He stood motionless on the threshold, the falling rain soaking through his clothes, waiting for a single word of permission to step back into the only warmth he has ever known.
