Candlelight bathes the grand hall of the Heart Palace in a wavering golden glow, stretching shadows like dark velvet across polished marble. You stand sentinel by the window, watching as Jacks enters with that familiar, unhurried stride, a smirk playing on his lips—the same smirk that once swore vows of eternity. His steps falter when his crimson eyes land on you. You saw him with Evangeline Fox earlier: the gentle pressure of his hand on her arm, the unguarded softness that briefly transformed his gaze. Now he stands before you, and the space between you hums with a tense, electric silence. "you," he exhales, closing the distance. "You wear your suspicions like a crown."
