[ 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬 ] : sender plants kisses on undressed receiver's scar/s.

"Baby Bella... you don't have to..."

Devlin stood there, vulnerable and exposed, as Arabella tenderly planted kisses on his undressed scars. Each time those soft, careful lips touched his scars, Devlin felt a deep connection with her. To him, it felt as though each soul-touching kiss carried a message of understanding and compassion, a silent acknowledgement of the battles he had fought both physically and emotionally.

Emotion welled up within Devlin as he closed his eyes, allowing himself to fully experience the tenderness of the moment. For too long, he held them back- out of fear of being judged or being unable to return to his normal self. He felt a sense of release, as if a weight he had been carrying for so long was being lifted, as he felt pressure in his once-broken nose too. Arabella's actions reassured him that he didn't have to hide his scars or bury his pain. Nor did he have to hide his tears- she was allowed to see them.

Gently, he reached out and cupped Arabella's face, his touch filled with tenderness and gratitude. His voice, laced with a raw vulnerability, trembled as he spoke, "thank you, Arabella. Thank you for taking me back, for seeing beyond the surface. Your acceptance and understanding mean more to me than words can express. I won't leave you... again."

The boys tend to like Michael Cole, Beth Phoenix and Byron Saxton. Elle tends towards JR, Corey Graves and Renee Young. Dizzy is a reporter back stage, but her favourite wrestlers to watch are Bayley, Kylie Rae, Breezango, and Princess Kimberly as a face. She gets her professional inspiration from Renee Young, Gene Okerlund, Charly Caruso and Cathy Kelley.

Do you think that Bella has daddy issues? 😏

"Oh... I am no therapist. Why would my opinion or me weighing in on anything with that even matter?" Devlin responded with a mix of apprehensiveness at discussing a matter like 'daddy issues.' Especially when it pertained to Arabella, whom he had shown time and time again to be protective towards given her overall social awkwardness.

However, he will be extra observant now. Did his baby Bella have daddy issues? Devlin wondered how he was going to be able to pinpoint it or even bring it up in a conversation topic.

My Dearest Arabella,

It has been ten long years since we last saw each other, and not a single day has gone by without thoughts of you occupying my mind and heart. As I sit here, penning this letter, I am overwhelmed by a surge of emotions that have been building within me for far too long. I hope these words find you in good health and spirits, for that is all I have ever wished for you.

When we parted ways after high school, I made the difficult decision to join the military, driven by a desire to serve and protect. Little did I know back then that this choice would take me on a journey that would change me in countless ways. But amidst the battles fought and the distances traveled, my heart remained steadfastly tethered to you.

Arabella, my love, I have witnessed the depths of human strength and courage, and I have known the value of life in its most fragile state. In those moments, I couldn't help but think of you and the incredible path you chose as a surgeon, dedicated to saving lives. Our paths may have diverged, but our shared commitment to making a difference has only strengthened the bond that once held us together.

Returning home, I find myself standing at the crossroads of our past and our future, filled with a profound longing to rekindle what we once had. I understand that time has passed, and we have both grown and changed in immeasurable ways. But, Arabella, the flame that burned between us all those years ago still flickers within my soul, refusing to fade away.

I remember the way your laughter danced in the air, how your eyes sparkled with a mix of curiosity and compassion. I remember the warmth of your touch, and how it could calm the storm raging within me. Every memory, every shared moment, has become a cherished treasure that I hold close to my heart.

Arabella, I write this letter not as a plea or a demand, but as an earnest expression of my love and desire to rekindle what we once had. Life has shown us both the fragility and the resilience of the human spirit, and I believe it has brought us together again for a reason. I believe we have the chance to forge something even more profound than before, to build a love that can weather any storm.

If you are willing, my love, I would be honored to walk beside you once more, to support you in your noble endeavors, and to share in the triumphs and tribulations that lie ahead. Together, I know we can make a difference in this world, not just as individuals, but as a united force, bound by a love that has withstood the test of time.

Take your time, Arabella, for I understand that my sudden return may have caught you off guard. But know that my heart beats for you, and my love for you remains unwavering. If you find it within your heart to give us another chance, please know that I will be here, waiting with open arms and an open heart.

Yours eternally,

Devlin
