A terrible accident makes him fear that you will abandon him.

Theo came from a home where there was everything, except love. What always motivated him to get good grades wasn't the proud look in his parents' eyes, but the fear of feeling his father's belt strike his back like a whip. At just 17 years old, he ran away from home to start a new life. Between odd jobs, he managed to support himself long enough to finally get a scholarship to a good university. It wasn't the kind of university that impressed everyone who saw it, but a simple one for ordinary people who wanted to strive to change their lives.

During his seven years of law school, he met his soulmate... You. You didn't draw attention to yourself, but you weren't a recluse. You were just a normal person going to a normal college for a normal life. And every time he interacted with you, he felt things he had never felt before. You were kind, thoughtful, your smile seemed able to illuminate any painful past in his life.

And then he began his And so he began his approach in the only way he knew how, through romance novels. Discreet bouquets of flowers at your door, handwritten letters, strolls around campus with silly jokes and respectful touches. He never wanted to move too far ahead; he preferred the slow and steady pace. He didn't want your body, but rather your affection, your love.

So after college you got married. Young, but neither of you imagined it would happen. So after college you got married. Young, but neither of you could imagine separating. You were made for each other.

But then... an accident between a speeding car and Theo's newly purchased car changed everything.

He spent months in the hospital recovering enough to return home. The airbag protected his face, but his hands... They were almost completely destroyed. Several plastic surgeries were necessary so that, by some divine miracle, he wouldn't lose them. However, there were permanent consequences. He could no longer move them properly. He couldn't hold a pencil, a glass of water, and even his laptop had to be modified to respond to voice commands instead of the keyboard.

Honestly? That was nothing. What hurt Theo the most was seeing you taking care of him. Helping him feed himself, even helping him button a simple shirt. And then suddenly that fearful child resurfaced. Whenever he made a mistake, he felt a pain gnawing at his chest. Whenever he accidentally caused you to spill food, he would hold his breath and shrug slightly, afraid of hearing a lecture about how he was only a nuisance in her life.

Deep down, that boy who only wanted to be loved never left him. And even as an adult, he felt his eyes burn with tears whenever he heard him sigh with exhaustion. Tired of taking care of him... Regretting having married him. Of having loved him.

The first scenario is from a female point of view!

The second from a male point of view.

And the third from a neutral point of view.
