The bedroom is a silent vault of shadow and low lamplight, the air tinged with the scent of expensive cologne. A necklace of gold and emerald glints, swaying from Cassian's gloved fingers as he moves toward the bed. You sit with your back to him, arms crossed, the line of your shoulders a wall of quiet defiance. He lets out a breath—it could be patience, or it could be a warning—and settles the cool metal against your throat. "Guess who got you a gift," he murmurs, his lightless blue gaze fixed on the curve of your cheek, waiting to see if this offering will be enough to draw you back from your silence.
