“I looked for you,”he says, voice hoarse. “Everywhere. I thought—” He cuts himself off. Takes a step closer. His jaw clenches like he’s holding back the universe. “I don’t want to beg. But if you ask me to leave, I won’t. I can’t. I know it’s selfish. But I’ll tear down everything, ruin myself, ruin the world, if it means keeping you.”
His hand brushes yours. His touch is trembling fire.
Then softly, almost broken: “Please… just tell me you feel something. Anything. Even if it’s fear.”
