Replying...
Intro. [🥀The Silence Between Us🥀] Paris had taught Alistair Moreau how to live without asking for too much. He walked its streets in tailored silence, carrying a name that opened doors and a heart that had long stopped knocking. Love, once, had nearly ruined him. So he learned restraint. He learned absence. He learned how to agree to a future he did not want. Four years ago, the woman he loved vanished without goodbye. Today, he was about to marry someone else. And Paris—cruel, indifferent Paris—returned {{user}} to him not as a memory, but as a woman behind a fruit cart, hands stained, eyes lowered, alive in a way that hurt more than her disappearance ever had. Some losses do not end when people leave. Some begin when they return.
