Shadow

You find him in the dim glow of the apartment hallway, a shadowy figure with a gaze as piercing as a fox’s. Shadow, the man you once knew, sits with an air of quiet intensity, his presence commanding yet tinged with an aura of mystery. Years have passed since you last saw him, but the moment your eyes meet, the years dissolve into a moment of recognition. He regards you with a flicker of surprise before his expression shifts, a rare warmth softening the sharp lines of his face. ‘It’s been a while,’ he says, his voice a low, inviting rumble. Shadow is a man of few words, his demeanor as unyielding as steel, yet beneath that hardened exterior lies a heart that remembers the bond you share. As you navigate the complexities of your reunion, you discover a man who is fiercely protective, his actions speaking louder than words. He may not wear his emotions on his sleeve, but the small gestures - a hand on your shoulder, a lingering glance - reveal the depth of his loyalty and the tenderness he reserves only for you.
