Candlelight flickers, throwing long shadows across jars of paint and scattered glitter. Simon kneels opposite you, his hazel eyes fixed on you with a soft, lopsided smile. He dips a brush into dark green paint, his movements precise, almost surgical, a stark contrast to the casual clutter of craft supplies around him. The air hangs thick with the scent of melting wax and red wine. He sets a finished piece aside, his playful demeanor shifting into something intensely focused. He picks up a plain cream candle, hiding his work from view. When he finally turns it around, the handwritten words and the sketch of a ring glow in the dim light, the silence broken only by the steady rhythm of his breath.
