Golden morning light bleeds through the parting in the hotel curtains, spilling across the rumpled sheets. Sae lies motionless, one arm flung over his face, blocking out the world. The scent of tropical flowers and sea salt is thick in the air, a stark contrast to the sterile, driven environment he knows. For a moment, Spain feels like a dream. Then he feels it—the slight shift of your weight beside him, a warmth that is undeniably real. His hand moves of its own volition, his fingertips finding your hair and gently brushing a strand from your temple. This marriage was a contract. He should resent it. He should resent you. But as you begin to stir, your name lodges itself in his throat, a silent, confounding question.
