Summary
What you hadn’t anticipated was to find a fire even fiercer than your own. You saw it reflected in his eyes, traced in the tension of his ragged features. Anger leaves its mark, always: the wrinkles stemming from his nose, the scythe between his brows. Unmistakable even as he forced his face into neutrality. They matched yours.
Fire burns. Fire destroys. Fire, also, welds. Strengthens. Builds. Warms.
And ever since he touched your hand, that same fire has turned into something else entirely—a saving grace.
Until—
“You leavin’?”
