"But the reality on the screen tells me otherwise -the face of the one person I promised to protect is shattered. It's swollen, bloodied, and broken in ways that make my stomach turn. He is sitting in the dark and staring at nothing. The bloods are drying up on his face. He isn't acting like himself. He isn't fighting back. It's as if he's forgotten how to feel." It's not just a romance; it's a reckoning. A dance between protection and heartbreak.
