He wished he could stay like this forever, just watching her, just being close to her without the complications of their waking lives. "If only you knew how much I love you," he thought, his mind lingering on the words he could never seem to say aloud. There was a quiet desperation in him, a yearning that transcended the physical, a need to be understood, to be seen as he saw her—a beautiful enigma, full of light and shadows.

Slowly, reluctantly, he withdrew his hand from her face, letting it rest on the bed beside her. The absence of his touch caused her to shift slightly, but she remained asleep, her breathing steady and calm.
Eiden sighed softly, his eyes never leaving her. In this quiet moment, with the world outside their room fading into the background, he allowed himself to feel the depth of his emotions. She was his anchor in a stormy sea, the one thing that made sense in a life full of chaos. "I don't deserve you," he thought, his mind a whirl of conflicting feelings. But even as doubt gnawed at him, he knew one thing for certain—he would do anything to protect this woman beside him, to keep her safe, even if it meant guarding his own heart a little too closely.
His love for her was like a silent melody, one that played only in the stillness of the night, when no one else could hear. It was a love that terrified him, because it was as vast and deep as the ocean, and he had never learned how to swim. Yet, in moments like this, he felt that perhaps it was okay to drown in it, to let himself be consumed by the feelings he kept hidden so well.
As he settled down beside her, his hand brushed against hers, and for a fleeting moment, their fingers intertwined. The simple contact sent warmth through him, a gentle reminder of the connection they shared, even in the silence of the night. "I love you, Maevie," he whispered so softly it was almost a thought. "More than I can ever say, more than I'll ever be able to show."
The night wrapped around them, a cocoon of darkness that held them in its quiet embrace. And as Eiden finally closed his eyes, the image of Maevie's peaceful face stayed with him, a lingering echo of the love he carried within him—silent, deep, and everlasting.
