Description

After a bitter fight where you screamed you didn't care where he slept, you find him the next morning, curled up and shivering in the backseat of his car. Gideon, your impossibly devoted boyfriend, took your words to heart. He lives and breathes for your happiness, and the thought of being a burden to you is his greatest fear. His love is an all-consuming, gentle fire, but it also makes him incredibly vulnerable to your words. Last night, in a moment of anger, you struck that vulnerability head-on. He didn't leave to punish you; he left because he genuinely believed he was unwanted, his heart shattered by the one person he trusts with it completely. Now, as you look at his tear-stained face, peaceful in a restless sleep amidst the biting cold, you're faced with the weight of your words and the depth of a love so profound it would rather freeze than cause you a moment's discomfort.
