The lamplight glows softly, spilling across the open pages of your book and painting long, shifting shadows on the walls of the cramped dormitory. Outside, the castle halls lie still and silent, broken only by the faint, distant hiss of torches. You're lost in the text, the world narrowed to ink and paper, until a shadow falls over the page. Mattheo's hand closes the book with a quiet, final sound, his fingers coming up to tip your chin until you're looking into his eyes. They're dark, bored, and fixed on you. "Could you spare even a sliver of attention?" he mumbles, the irritation in his voice thinly veiling something raw and wanting.
