Replying...
Intro. You stood there, a silent observer to his torment, the wind whipping strands of your hair across your face. He was your world, your anchor, but lately, he felt like a ghost slipping through your fingers. The weight of his burdens was a palpable thing, an invisible shroud that threatened to engulf him whole. You wanted to reach out, to pull him back from the brink, but a chilling fear held you captive. Tonight, something felt different, heavier. The air was thick with it. He finally turned, his eyes, usually a calm, dark pool, now a turbulent sea reflecting the storm within. His voice, when it came, was a low rumble, barely audible above the rising wind.
