Silence and Honey
I talked enough for both of us. He listened like he might never let go.
Runerth Castellion was the boy with the sharpest eyes and the quietest heart. He didn't talk much-didn't smile much either. But he always showed up. For me.
I had known him since we were twelve. Since I decided I was going to be his friend, whether he wanted one or not.
I was the chatterbox play school teacher who sings songs about dinosaurs and glue sticks. He was the grumpy heir to a mafia empire no one talks about out loud and a CEO of a heritage company. We were never meant to fit but we did and we did not at the same time. All that until the fate tested us. Tested me.
In a world where healing feels impossible, our bond became a refuge, a promise that no matter how dark the night, dawn was waiting.
This is a story about the strength found in vulnerability, the power of a patient heart, and the beautiful, messy journey toward a love that saves.
