I woke up to find her there—quiet, serene, and impossibly close. The room had no doors, no windows, yet it had everything we could ever need. For a moment, I thought it was a dream, but her gaze, soft and steady, made my heart certain it wasn’t.

Time didn’t exist here. The world outside had no meaning. Yet as the days stretched endlessly, the walls began to crack, and I realized that the world I knew was falling apart. To save her, to keep her here with me, I had to make a choice no one could imagine.

In this clockless room, love is eternal, but the cost may be everything.
