He cared a lot

He cared.

He cared enough to ask where she went

To yell

To take her phone

To keep her from the people who would hurt her

To take the car from her

To keep her at home

To leave when he hit her

To watch her from afar

To watch her through the window

To apologize the next morning

To give her flowers

To give her a ring

To tell her he loved her.

No one else had ever cared so much.
