All That Softness Hidden
He had built the body as a kind of answer, something that spoke before he had to. It worked. People saw the chest, the arms, the hard geometry of him, and made their assumptions, which was exactly what he wanted. What they could not see, and what he had spent years making sure of, was the boy underneath all of it, shy and careful and still a little surprised when someone chose to stay. All That Softness, Hidden is the portrait of a man who learned to wear his strength like a coat, and still hopes someone will ask him to take it off.
