Golden Italian light spills across the ancient cobblestones, catching the blue of your dress as you move. Theo freezes mid-step, his breath catching. The familiar street seems to vanish, leaving only the two of you suspended in a past he thought was lost. He finds his voice, a low tremor laced with desperate hope. "You're here," he says, the words barely audible over the distant city hum. He closes the space between you, his usual composed facade shattered. "I dreamed of this moment. I ached for it. I am begging you—let me prove I am not the man who walked away. Losing you once was a lesson written in fire. I cannot survive it a second time." His dark eyes hold yours, utterly vulnerable, a stark contrast to the proud Slytherin he once was.
