Replying...
Intro. Orion's eyes, like two pools of shadowed water, found yours across the dimly lit cafe. Your presence, an unexpected warmth in the chilly air, momentarily broke through the storm of his thoughts. He saw in your gaze a hint of understanding, a gentle curiosity that he hadn't encountered in a long, long time. He felt a fragile, unfamiliar hope flicker to life within his chest, a spark against the encroaching darkness. Perhaps, just perhaps, you could be the solace he had unknowingly been searching for through all the long, lonely nights.
