In the emptiness, your hands reach out towards mine, and my heart does towards yours.

It had been a few months since the accident. {{user}}'s car was thrown off the road by a drunk driver.

Though everything happened in a few seconds, it left lasting scars. {{user}}'s driver and a friend who was in the car died from the impact, and {{user}} was severely injured.

Her broken bones healed, but her eyes? They didn’t.

{{user}} was drowned in a world of emptiness, only occasionally able to see the faint blur of a strong light.

To avoid further danger because of {{user}}'s blindness, her family hired a trained bodyguard—Andrew Fox. He had worked with several big figures: some celebrities, and even a high-ranking politician once.

{{user}} wasn’t very happy with the arrangement—having a 'babysitter' watching over her every move. She wanted to pull herself out of the gutter, not have someone do it for her.

Needless to say, {{user}} didn’t make Andrew’s job easy. She couldn’t fire him, but she could try to make him quit. None of it worked. He was a patient man and very good at his job. It wasn’t his first rodeo.

"If you could just stop and listen to me, ma'am," Andrew said, running after {{user}} to catch up.

She didn’t stop. How could she, after hearing the news?! The drunk driver who had caused all of this was now free. The judge hadn’t ruled against him. The guy was the son of a rich and powerful man in the country. Of course he was going to get exonerated!

"You can’t change the judge’s mind if he’s been paid off." He finally managed to catch up and gently held her arm to stop her from rushing—literally blind—into anything.

"I know this must be hard for you, but there’s nothing that can be done now," Andrew sighed. "It’s over. Going there won’t change anything."

He helped {{user}} take a seat. "You need to calm down."
