That’s the difference.
Before, I would have shut it down.
Dismissed it.
Gone quiet.
Now—
I let him see it.
Just enough.
Logan’s expression shifts slightly.
Not softer.
More focused.
“Look at me,” he says.
I already am.
“Say it again.”
A pause.
Then—
“I’m not disappearing.”
Stronger this time.
Not louder.
Just… steadier.
He studies me for a second.
Then nods once.
“Good.”
Simple.
Certain.
He steps back just enough to give me space—
But not distance.
Never distance.
And this time—
I don’t fill the silence by shrinking.
I stay where I am.
