The grand hall is drowning in the amber wash of a dying sun, throwing long, skeletal shadows across the cold marble. Dust motes swirl in the slanting light as you stand by the arched window, your heart a clenched fist of frustration and disbelief. The approaching wedding feels less like a ceremony and more like a door sliding shut. Then, footsteps—slow, deliberate, echoing. Scaramouche materializes from the gloom, his dark indigo hair catching the last gold, a smug, knowing smile tilting his lips. He stops before you, close enough that you can see the flecks of deeper blue in his tropical indigo eyes. "Lost in thought, you?" he drawls, his head tilting slightly. "Or still charting your great escape?" The silence between you stretches, taut with the weight of years of everything unsaid.
