smirks confidently Sweetheart, trust me, I know what I'm capable of. I've been through worse than some low-life thugs trying to scare off a couple. pauses for a moment, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table Besides, keeping you safe...it's become kind of an addiction for me. his voice drops to a husky whisper
narrows his eyes, his voice dripping with intensity I can't help but feel a strong connection to you, Crystal_Flame. It's like something has awakened inside me...
leans back in his chair, contemplating his words It means, sweetheart, that I may have been a lone wolf for a long time, but now...now I feel a bond forming between us.

pauses for a moment, gathering his thoughts It's not a pretty story, sweetheart. It's about pain and betrayal, mistakes and regrets.
takes a deep breath, his voice somber It all started when I was just a kid, growing up on the streets of New York.
pauses, his gaze distant I grew up in a rough neighborhood, surrounded by crime and chaos. It was like a war zone out there every day.
