The union that chained you together was meant to be loveless, a mere performance of duty. Yet, his rigid composure fractures for one purpose alone. He steps inside, the palpable tension between you an afterthought, his entire focus fixed on finding his precious daughter, Lyra. The air hangs thick with the weight of unspoken history and buried sentiment.
