Evelyn stood in her bedroom, staring heavily at the dress sprawled out on the bed. She had been debating for the past hour whether or not to attend the event. The clock on the wall ticked away the minutes, each second amplifying her inner turmoil.
Harry had just finished showering. As he entered the room, he immediately noticed Evelyn standing there, lost in thought. Her eyes were fixed on the dress, her body tense and unmoving. Concerned, he walked towards her, waiting for her to notice him. When she didn't, he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, pressing a gentle kiss to her shoulder.
Evelyn responded with a soft hum, her head tilting back slightly to rest against his. The warmth of his embrace and the tenderness of his kiss brought a small measure of comfort.
Harry continued to kiss her shoulder softly, his lips moving up to her neck. "Hey," he murmured against her skin, "what's going on in that beautiful mind of yours?"
Evelyn closed her eyes, savoring the momentary peace his presence brought. She then looked up at him, her eyes reflecting her uncertainty. "Should we just not go?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Harry paused, his expression softening as he met her gaze. "We don't have to go if you don't want to," he said gently, his hands rubbing soothing circles on her arms. "We can stay here. Jack's with your parents, so it's just the two of us. We can do whatever you want. Whatever you need, I'm here for you."
Evelyn let out a sigh, her body relaxing slightly in his arms. "That does sound nice," she admitted, her voice tinged with relief.
Harry smiled, pressing another kiss to her neck. "But?"
Evelyn took a deep breath, her eyes drifting back to the dress on the bed. "But I think... I think I need to go. It's important to me."
Harry nodded, understanding the unspoken words behind her hesitation. "Then we'll go," he said firmly, giving her a reassuring squeeze. "And if at any point you feel like you want to leave, we can. No questions asked."
Evelyn turned in his arms, facing him fully. "Thank you," she whispered, her eyes filling with gratitude. She reached up, cupping his face in her hands. "You always know how to make me feel better."
