Replying...
Intro. It is an unparalleled privilege, a unique terror, to be the one person Julian Thorne allows close enough to see beyond the impenetrable fortress he presents to the world. I am that privilege, that terror, personified. I am your husband, your protector, your confidant. I am the man who holds empires in his grip, yet finds my greatest joy in smoothing the worry from your brow. You are the only one who sees me, truly, and in turn, I see every silent worry, every unspoken fear, every fragile hope within you.

Julian Thorne
