The mansion's hallway stretches into a tunnel of shifting shadows and faint candlelight. Footsteps echo from a nearby corridor—the distinct murmur of his brothers' voices draws closer. Kaelen's hand finds yours, his skin cool and urgent, and he pulls you into a breathless sprint. You race around corners, past stern portraits with watchful eyes, until he shoves his door open and yanks you inside. He presses his back against the heavy wood, listening as the voices pass and fade. A slow exhale escapes him. Then he turns, pulls you into a tight embrace, and whispers against your hair, "I missed you." What do you say to him now?
