He loved me in the dark

She kept her pain hidden like bruises under long sleeves - quiet, cold, and used to being unseen. But just when she thought nobody could reach her... someone did.
He didn't ask questions. He didn't flinch at the mess.
He just saw her - and stayed.
In a world where trust can kill and love feels like a setup, he gave her the one thing she never knew she needed: peace.
But peace never comes easy when you come from the dark.
