Let Them Know

The tension in the air felt heavy as Mike wrapped his arms around Livy. Her body tensed up for a moment, caught between conflicting feelings, but slowly, she began to relax, leaning into Mike's embrace. The silence that wrapped around them felt like an unspoken acknowledgment of the chaos within them both.

Livy's voice was barely audible when she finally spoke. "You're crazy, Mike. You know that, right? No sane person would ever accept this dark side of mine."

Mike's hug tightened, his voice coming out in a low tone. "Maybe I am crazy. But if that's what it takes, then I'll be that kind of crazy. I'd rather be here, with all your broken pieces, than anywhere else."
