After escaping an abusive relationship, Est is left with deep scars-both physical and emotional. He no longer believes in love, flinches at touch, and is terrified of the dark. Then comes William-bright, warm, and patient. He doesn't try to fix Est or force him to love again. Instead, he stays, loving him gently, until the fear fades and Est learns that love doesn't have to hurt. 💔✨
