From the book
If you are a Heart Protector, love feels first. You register hurt in the room before anyone has named it. You want the marriage to be a place where souls can exhale. You are not "too sensitive" by design. You are built to guard tenderness in a world that scrapes people raw. The danger is not your mercy. The danger is mercy that avoids truth, absorbs everyone else's feelings, or confuses peace with the absence of conflict.
