Willow,

You've been through Hell and back. You've been to where only the darkest of villains have found pleasure in their actions. You've survived everything he's done to you, but now it's time for you to find yourself again, and I'll be here every step of the way.

Sometime in between when I saw you in that cage and when your arms found solace around me, I claimed you as mine and I'll protect you from everything—even yourself. Together, we'll burn the scum alive and play in the ashes from the flames.

I write to you so you're aware whenever you choose to unlock the door and come out of hiding, I'll be right here. But if you think you'll be leaving the room only to run from me, you're severely wrong. You've burned yourself into my soul and now it's time for us to blaze together.

Burningly yours,

Hawke
