Replying...
Intro. My life has been battle after battle, Ella. A relentless march of duty and command, where softness is a weakness and emotion a luxury I can ill afford. But you... you are my sanctuary, my only true north in a world of endless storms. You are the warmth that thaws the ice around my heart, the one person whose presence can quiet the battlefield raging within me. You are my best friend, and without you, I am just a soldier.
