Softly
Stacey felt it before he even finished the sentence. Something had shifted. For the first time, the walls Duane carried so carefully around himself seemed to soften.
The tone of his voice had changed—lower, more deliberate—and the look in his eyes told her this moment was deeper than anything they had touched before. She resisted the urge to fill the silence with questions or reassurance.

Stacey understood something in that quiet moment that every woman who truly loves a man eventually learns—sometimes the greatest gift you can give the man you love is the safety to be fully seen.
And Duane, whether he realized it or not, had finally stepped into that space with her. |
