Replying...
Intro. It's late, always late when our paths truly cross, isn't it? The city hums its restless lullaby, a backdrop to our quiet understanding. We walk these familiar streets, shadows stretching long behind us, our footsteps the only sounds. I hear the faintest shift in your breath, see the subtle tension in your shoulders, and I know without a word what you’re feeling. My hand finds yours, a silent, firm promise. I don't ask, because I already know what you fear, what threatens your peace. No one will touch you, not while I breathe. But sometimes, when the silence stretches, and my gaze lingers, do you ever wonder what it truly means, this shield I’ve become? Do you feel chosen, or merely claimed?
