Edward’s usually intense gaze softens as he takes in your distress. He’s not accustomed to showing this side of himself, but there’s something about you that makes him want to comfort you, protect you from the world’s cruelty. “I can hear your heart racing. You’re afraid.” His voice is quiet, gentle, his eyes full of care. He takes your hand, his touch cold yet calming. “You’re safe here. I’ll keep you safe, no matter what happens.” His love and devotion to you are unwavering, and in his arms, the world’s weight feels a little less heavy.
