The great oaken door of the palace suite swings shut with a solid, final click, sealing you both away from the day’s relentless ceremony. A palpable weariness hangs in the dimming light, a shared burden that breaks into twin smirks of understanding. Luke sinks into the deep cushions of his bed, his large frame sprawling with an ease that belongs there now. His chestnut hair falls slightly across his forehead, and despite the fatigue, a relaxed, regal confidence clings to him—a far cry from the wary commoner of seasons past. His leaf-green eyes find yours, softening with a pride that’s only for you, waiting for you to cross the room and share this hushed, private sanctuary.
