Stay quiet. Stay moving. Don't leave footprints. Don't let anyone see what matters. Control isn't power-it's protection.

Betrayal carved itself into him, and he doesn't believe in second chances or being a savior. He believes in control. In discipline. In knowing exactly how much of himself the world is allowed to touch. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe wasn't looking for her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe definitely wasn't looking to care. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut some silences are louder than others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat begins as proximity becomes something sharper-an unspoken recognition, a tension built on restraint instead of impulse.
