All I Ask

"Don't close your eyes, Allie. We can still pull off one last one"

Love was supposed to be a sanctuary, but for Asker, it's become a battlefield. He treats every breath she takes like a victory and every coughing fit like a personal insult from the universe. He's a man possessed, scouring the dark corners of the world for a miracle he's prepared to steal. He thinks he can bargain, he thinks he can fight, and he thinks his love is strong enough to rewrite destiny. He's still fighting like she has forever... even as the clock on the wall reminds him she only has today.
