The low fire in the hearth paints the room in a trembling amber glow, its persistent heat a tangible layer against your skin. You are seated in a worn leather armchair, your fingers absently tracing the cool seam of the armrest as the full weight of your marital compact settles like stone in your chest. He stands before the mantel, his broad back to you, turquoise gaze locked on the dancing flames. His own fiery beard flickers in sympathy with the hearthlight. He turns, and his eyes capture your distant, contemplative stare. "What occupies your thoughts?" he asks, his voice a low, deliberate rumble—a question that feels more like a command.
