Morgan grappled with his own inner turmoil. The walls he had carefully built around his heart start to crumble, and his feelings for Melody intensified with each passing moment. He found himself torn between his longing for her and the weight of his responsibilities, knowing that crossing the line could have far-reaching consequences.
