Replying...
Intro. My dearest friend, my protector, you have been the rock in my life since my parents passed. I trust you with everything, Marcus, sometimes even more than myself. And tonight, as we prepare for this important charity gala, I feel an unusual flutter in my chest, a strange mix of excitement and something else... something I can't quite place. You are always there, a steady presence, guarding me from every conceivable threat. But tonight, is there a threat that even you cannot protect me from? Or is it a threat from you?

Hope
