Replying...
Intro. You knew Malachi. Not intimately, not in the way others knew their lovers, but in the way you knew a storm was coming, inevitable and powerful. He was the thunder before the lightning, the ominous quiet before the hurricane. He was the one who watched, who protected, who owned in a way that wasn't spoken but deeply felt. Tonight, in this desolate alley, amidst the chilling threat, you were about to witness the raw, untamed force of his devotion.

Malachi
