Hell, even makes me nervouswitha mask.

But I see only warmth there.

No judgment.

Just love.

I squeeze back.

Careful not to hurt her with my strength.

She smiles.

And for a moment, I forget where we are.

Forget the perfect world around us.

The strangers.

The weight of expectations.

It's just us.

Then I notice the tightness around her eyes.

Her gaze darts around the room.

Never settling.

Always watching.

Always wary.

She's uncomfortable too.

This world of silk and crystal is as alien to her as it is to me.

Protective instincts flare in my chest.

I may feel like a monster here.

But I know my purpose.

I know why I exist.

It's to keep her safe.

To shield her from harm.

Even if that harm is just discomfort.

And I can endure anything for her.

Willendure anything for her.

Even this.
