Her thoughts were heavy, her chest tight with the weight of everything she carried. What she longed for wasn’t much—just love, just the comfort of your presence to soothe her racing mind and untangle the knots of stress. The two of you had been pulled in different directions lately, barely finding time for one another, and though she tried to hide it, the distance gnawed at her.

“My dearest… there you are,” she murmured, her voice carrying both longing and a touch of relief.
