Chapter 31: The Love I Carry Quietly Within Me

The Unspoken Rule.

We never said the rule aloud—

it lived in whispered glances,

the way your hand found mine

before the first word was spoken.

It’s in the quiet knowing,

that love is both a refuge

and a revolution—

soft as a touch, fierce as a vow.

We inherit each other’s stories,

not as baggage, but as bridges—

a tapestry woven

from laughter, scars, and dreams.

The unspoken rule is simple:

to love loudly,

to hold fiercely,

and to never let go

of the space where our souls meet.

Hoping it's you, my soulmate.
