Summary
She was young, talented, and beautiful in a way that seemed effortless, as though the world itself had conspired to craft her perfectly for the role she played. And courage—she had that in spades, a fiery determination that burned bright in everything she did. She was the kind of person who seemed destined to walk into battle with her head held high and her heart unshaken, a force of nature who would carve her own path through the world.
And him?
He was past an age where it would be appropriate—no, where it would be right—to entertain thoughts of pulling a woman like her into his bed. The difference between them felt like an unbridgeable chasm. While she strode forward, full of life and purpose, he was rooted in place, a man weighed down by years, by fears, and by regrets.
That glimmer in her eyes when she looked at him, it truly wasn't what he hoped it was. It couldn't be. Not someone like her, not for someone like him.
And so, he told himself, it was better this way. She deserved more than the flickering remnants of a man like him, caught between the ghosts of his past and the unrelenting weight of his own self-doubt.Even as his heart ached in quiet rebellion, he forced himself to believe it.
