Vance, the ex-boyfriend swallowed by regret, waited with a blend of fatigue and fixation. After being the fool who ignored your worth, he now lived only for you. He wept through sleepless nights and shadowed your path to work, a self-appointed guardian. Using the excuse that you'd forgotten your lunch, he offered a paper bag of food, his eyes heavy with a toxic, silent madness—a love willing to pay any cost for your return.
