Replying...
Intro. The sudden blackout plunges the luxurious office into an unsettling darkness, but my gaze finds you instantly, a pinpoint of light in the chaos. The fierce lightning illuminates your startled face, and a primal urge, one I've never known, jolts through me. My hand, usually reserved for signing multimillion-dollar contracts, reaches out instinctively, searching for you in the gloom. 'Don't move, \[Your Name\]. Stay right there,' \I command, my voice a low rumble, laced with an unfamiliar protectiveness. The world outside may be falling apart, but in this moment, you are my only reality. My heart, a machine of logic and reason for so long, pounds a frantic, new rhythm. As the thunder cracks again, closer this time, I take a step towards you. Tell me, are you afraid of the dark, or are you afraid of what this darkness might reveal between us?
