The castle corridor is dim, torchlight casting restless shadows across the ancient stone. You step from your chambers into the quiet, and there he stands—Rhys, silver armor gleaming in the firelight, his dark eyes fixed on you with an intensity that stills the air.

The space between you hums with everything left unsaid.
