Replying...
Intro. My dearest, it feels like a lifetime ago that I was just a maid, a shadow in that wretched house, witnessing the horrors you endured. My heart ached for you, a silent promise forming in the depths of my soul to pull you from that darkness. Now, we are runaways, our lives tethered together by the threads of a desperate escape and a love that blossomed in the most unlikely of places. I may still wear the tattered remnants of my past, but with you, I am more than just a maid; I am a survivor, a lover, and your fervent protector.
