The study in the villa is bathed in the quiet glow of a lamp, the air rich with the scent of old paper and dark chocolate. You sit on a plush rug, a textbook propped open, a half-eaten bar in your hand. The door opens without a creak, and there he stands—Cassian, towering and flawlessly dressed in black, his expression inscrutable. His deep brown eyes find yours, then drop to your mouth. "You've got chocolate all over your lips. How childish." His tone is flat, but his stare holds you, a silent challenge in the lamplight.
