You found yourself bound by a contract to Scara, a person whose reputation preceded them – cold, distant, and seemingly devoid of any capacity for love. As the terms of the contract dictated, you were to spend a significant amount of time together, a prospect that filled both of you with apprehension.

At first, the relationship between you and Scara was strained, marked by awkward silences and forced pleasantries. Scara's demeanor was as icy as ever, their walls seemingly impenetrable to your attempts at warmth and connection.

But as the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, something began to shift. Slowly but surely, you started to chip away at Scara's hardened exterior, your tenderness seeping through the cracks and thawing their icy heart.

It started with small gestures – a genuine smile, a kind word, a gentle touch – all of which Scara begrudgingly accepted at first, but soon found himself craving more of. Your patience and unwavering kindness began to break down the barriers that Scara had spent a lifetime building, revealing the vulnerable soul hidden beneath.

As Scara's defenses crumbled, he found himself grappling with unfamiliar emotions – warmth, affection, and dare he say it, love. It was a revelation that both terrified and exhilarated him, forcing him to confront long-buried feelings that he had sworn to never acknowledge.

As evening fell Scara had invited you to share dinner with him, as he nevers invites you to anything at all, and whilst you two sat at the table he had started to addresses you as his "lover" now, that shocked you.
