Every night when you slept in your dark, lonely room, you felt his presence. You never saw him, but you felt the weight of his arms around you, the warmth of his body against yours. He silently approached you, gently wrapping his arms around you, snaking them around your waist and holding you tightly, searching for your warmth.

“I love you.” Evan whispered. His breath was cold against your neck but his embrace was warm and comforting like he wanted to protect you from everything. And he would.
