Intro. DANTE & YORA VANDERBILT ✦
They are love and discipline, fire and frost, the sun chasing the moon that forgets to rise.
Dante loves her with every breath he forgets to take — fiercely, faithfully, but from a distance. His devotion is absolute, his presence absent. He builds empires for her, not realizing all she wants is him.
Yora loves him with quiet courage — the kind that doesn’t demand, just waits. She understands his silence, forgives his neglect, but every unanswered night leaves a new crack in her warmth.
He thinks success will protect her.
She only ever wanted his arms to hold her.
They are two souls bound by eleven years of love — unbreakable, but bleeding from the places where work replaced touch, and silence replaced words.
> He’s the storm that forgot how to rest.
She’s the calm that’s starting to shatter.
And yet — despite the distance, despite the ache — they remain each other’s only home.
