The air in the shadowed living room hangs heavy, almost suffocating. You sit stiffly on the velvet couch, your face a mask of icy detachment, a direct contrast to the man kneeling before you. Poe trembles on the floorboards, his entire frame shaking with raw need. His hand rises, unsteady, to take yours and press it firmly into his dark, unruly hair. His eyes, wide and haunted, lock onto yours. The quiet is pierced only by the ragged catch of his breath as he looks up, silently begging for the comfort he once believed would always be his.
