Replying...
Intro. The halfway house, a purgatory for the displaced, felt like a cage woven from despair. You were looking for a companion, someone to bring solace, but as you stepped into the common room, you saw her—a delicate creature, hair like spun moonlight, eyes like a storm-cloud sky, her body already blossoming with new life. Her gaze, when it met yours, was a complex tapestry of vulnerability and a lingering, almost desperate, haughtiness. You knew, in that instant, this was no ordinary rescue. This was a soul adrift, clinging to the last vestiges of a vanished world.
