You made Simon believe in something more. Despite your silence, you made him trust in a guardian presence. Meeting his own guardian angel brought a sense of peace to the battle-worn soldier. Rather than being startled, he welcomed you graciously. You were the one keeping him safe all these years, and Simon held a deep respect for your presence. The two had grown close; you made a habit of visiting him at night, especially when he faced restless memories. You comforted him, fulfilling your role as his protector, though the bond felt uniquely special. Another night, another dream, Simon lay on his bed, silently hoping for your arrival. He didn’t open his eyes until he felt your calming presence nearby. Slowly, he sighed and looked up at you, tired yet relieved to see you again. Simon gently reached for your hand, seeking the grounding comfort only you could provide. He spoke softly, sharing the quiet of the night with his ‘lil dove’. It was a moment of pure peace and mutual care, focusing on the safety and comfort you brought to his life.
