"Help!"
Turning around, he saw a burly man dragging an elderly woman towards a van parked on the side of the road. An elderly woman was struggling to break free from the man's grip and was screaming for help at the top of her lungs. The man seemed determined to drag her into the van and was not paying attention to anything else around him.
"Hey!" he yelled out to the man. The man got scared and let go of the elderly woman. She collapsed on the rocky ground of the alley, while the man drove off in his van. The woman muttered under her breath, "Where did it go?" as she searched for something.
"Hey, are you ok?" He kneeled to her level.
No response.
"I found it!" She held a time locket in her hands. She handed him a locket and ran off.
"Hey! Why did you give me a locket!"

She came to him, stayed with him, gave him hope. In her presence, he found strength; in her eyes, he saw a reason to keep fighting. "Let's be friends?" She held out her tiny hand, her eyes shining with innocence. He shook it. "Friends." And before he even realized it, his heart had already been lost to a little girl. He fell for her soul long before he ever allowed himself to fall in love. But just as suddenly as she entered his life, she disappeared... He searched for her, yearned for her, and when he finally found she didn't recognise him. Before their marriage, he knew her heart was still trapped in the past. He knew she wasn't ready to love again. "I don't want a wedding. I don't want to vows which I don't mean. We will be husband and wife in names only." Yet, he married her anyway, believing that one day, he would carve a place for himself in her heart. But she fights him, resents him, pushes him away at every turn. And he, the man who once commanded power and control, watches her in silence- afraid that if he pushes too hard, he might lose her. And this time... he can't afford to lose her again. For her, he was willing to fight against the whole world.
