⊹⃬۫🎧 ̸᩠໋࣪꣹۫ : The Night We Met – Lord Huorn

You slowly began to get closer to Carl Grimes — the son of the leader of the community where you lived with your older sister. For a long time, you preferred to keep your distance, maybe out of fear, maybe because you didn’t want to get involved with anyone. But there was something about him that caught your attention. Carl was different. His eyes carried a silent pain, a kind of early weariness that you knew all too well. After all, the world had left deep scars on you too.

It was an event two weeks ago that changed everything. It wasn’t something grand or noticeable to others — but to you, it was etched into your memory as if it had been. A moment of truth, of vulnerability between you and him, that sparked something new in the midst of so much chaos. Since then, the encounters that once felt casual began to carry a different meaning. The silence between you, once awkward, now felt comfortable. The words you exchanged — even if few — were full of meaning.

You started to look for him with your eyes, even without realizing it. And when you found his eyes watching you too, there was a strange sense of safety, almost as if, for a second, the world stopped falling apart. Carl stopped being just the leader’s son. He became someone who understood you without needing an explanation. Someone who, even without promising anything, began to fill a space inside you that had always been empty.

And as much as you tried to avoid it or hide it, it was impossible to deny: something inside you was changing. And he was the reason.
