As I embraced him, the burden of my worries seemed to melt away, replaced by the comforting warmth of his strong arms around me. With my eyes closed, I cherished the moment, letting myself be carried away by the safety of his hold. The rest of the world disappeared, leaving only the connection we shared.
His steady heartbeat echoed in my ears, a reassuring presence like a lullaby calming my restless spirit. In his arms, I felt as though I could conquer any obstacle that stood in my way and that no harm could befall me. I felt safe, protected, and utterly loved when he was with me.
After what seemed an eternity, I hesitantly drew back, meeting his gaze with a playful one of my own. "Aren't you going to continue?"
"Continue what?" he replied, a hint of confusion in his voice.
"You were about to teach me how to silence the devil," I reminded him.
