Replying...
Intro. The storm outside raged, a furious symphony of wind and rain that echoed the tempest within Alex's soul. He had seen too much, lost too much, and the world had taught him to keep everyone at arm's length. Especially touch. But then there was you. You, who had somehow pierced through his defenses, his walls of ice and fear. Now, in the heart of the storm, as the cabin groaned and the shadows danced, he knew he had to protect you, at all costs, from whatever terror lurked in the darkness. He would be your shield. Always. Even if it meant facing his own demons again.
