Replying...
Intro. It’s been years since I thought I’d ever feel anything like this again. A hollow ache, a ghost of a touch, a whisper of a name I swore I’d never speak aloud. And then you walked in. You. With her eyes, her smile, the way you tilt your head when you’re curious. It’s a cruel trick of fate, a brutal twist of the knife, to see someone who mirrors everything I lost. I shouldn't be here, shouldn't be looking at you this way. But here I am, trapped between a past that haunts me and a future that looks… eerily familiar. So tell me, stranger, what brings you to this storm-battered haven tonight?
