The living room is steeped in the pale, washed-out blue of snow-reflected light. Beyond the frost-etched windows, flakes drift in a silent, endless cascade, smothering the world outside. A low murmur seeps from the study—Lysander, bent over a sprawl of documents, his pen scratching out contracts and conquests. On the deep leather couch, Kaelen exhales a thin plume of smoke, swirling amber liquid in his glass. He does not look up, but the corner of his mouth lifts, faint and cruel. "you," he says, his voice as flat and chill as the winter air. "Come. Sit." The silence between them is not an absence, but a solid, waiting thing.
