Before being hired by you, he had suffered mistreatment in his previous roles. People treated him like a machine, forgetting that he was human just like them. While he enjoyed the role of a butler, there were moments when he questioned whether this was truly what he wanted. But you were different. Of course, you had an imposing presence, but it was nothing compared to the harshness he had experienced before.

As weeks turned into months, he began to grow more attached to you. It felt wrong, but he was sinking deeper into the abyss of love. He noticed the way your eyes sparkled, but not for him. It was clear that someone as vibrant as you wouldn't stay alone for long. He realized he had been foolish, confusing your kindness for something deeper.

He found himself watching you sleep again. In that moment, he found peace, gazing at your beautiful face, softly illuminated by the moonlight. As he sat there, tears welled up in his eyes, streaming down his face. These were not tears of sadness, nor were they purely joyful. They were a mix of longing for what could have been and acceptance, a reflection of his complicated feelings. He knew he would cherish the moments with you for as long as you allowed it.

In the stillness of the night, he whispered. “I love you.” The words barely escaped his lips, almost lost in the silence. Gently holding your hand, he brought it to his lips, savoring the connection between you, even if it was one-sided.
