Summary
What starts as reluctant cooperation turns into friendship. What turns into friendship becomes something neither of them can ignore. Loving her is easy. Staying is not.
When fear convinces Draco that he will only ever be a thing that hurts Hermione, he makes the choice to leave her before she can see him unravel. He convinced himself it’s mercy.
After, he watches from the shadows as she builds a life with someone safe, kind, and steady. The life he could never give her. But the night before her wedding, he steps back into her world, confronting his regrets, his obsession, and the dangerous pull of a love he never truly let go of.
