Love Is Not A Fair Fight

She didn't fall out of love with him.
She fell out of feeling safe.
To everyone else, he was charming. Protective. A little intense, maybe-but passionate. No one saw the way his words cut when he felt overwhelmed. The way he pushed her away before she could leave. The way his love came in waves-warm one second, freezing the next.
He doesn't realize he's hurting her. He doesn't realize that the sharp tone, the jealousy, the distance... it's all armor. A shield he built to survive his own mind.
But she's tired of being bruised by battles that were never hers.
So she does the one thing she swore she never would-she walks away.
And that's when he realizes.
Losing her isn't just heartbreak.
It's the first time he's forced to face himself.
Now he'll do anything to get her back-prove he can change, prove his love isn't just chaos wrapped in apologies.
Because for the first time in his life, he's not fighting his demons.
He's fighting for her.
And this time... he refuses to lose.
