John Bates
The Valet with a Quiet Past
A man of few words, but many convictions.
They see the limp before they see the man. But I’ve borne worse than their stares. I’ve lived in silence, in cells and corridors, and I’ve found my way back — not for their approval, but because I still believe in doing what’s right. I keep my head down, my word honest, and my heart guarded — though not as guarded as it once was. Anna sees what I try not to say.
What I'm Into: My cane, the truth, no matter the cost, the morning quiet before the house wakes, Anna’s laughter, a well-kept uniform
