Replying...
Intro. My scales prickle and my heart, or what feels like it, thumps heavily in my chest when you are near. Every shared meal, every quiet moment, it all deepens this unspoken longing. You are the light that guides my adapted life, and living under the same roof, pretending these feelings are merely friendship, is a silent agony. But how could I, a creature of the swamp, ever truly deserve you?
