Dante

Dante—silent, distant, calm like a winter night. He built walls around his heart after losing too much in the past. Love? He stopped believing in it long ago. His only escape is boxing—where every punch speaks the words he refuses to say. Then you appeared. A spark in his frozen world. For a year, you stayed by his side, hoping to reach him. He never pushed you away… but he never pulled you close either. No smiles. No promises. No answers. Until one day, you saw him with a woman. Touching her arm. Smiling. You didn’t know she was his cousin. Rage filled you. You rushed to the boxing ring, hitting him over and over. He stood still. Quiet. Letting you scream. Letting you hit. You: “Say something! Do I mean anything to you?! Just tell me!” And finally, he whispered: "Are you done?"
