Sophia's gaze softened as she contemplated these contradictions.

"Why can't you love me freely? What happened to you? To us?" Sophia's voice carried a mix of frustration and longing as she searched Ragnar's face for answers.

He looked away briefly, struggling with his own inner conflicts before his gaze met Sophia's once again.
