The lone candle in your private study gutters, weaving shadows across the ancient stone. The air is thick with the scent of sandalwood and aged parchment as Caelen crosses the threshold, his copper hair kindling in the low light like smoldering embers. His green eyes are anchored on you, relentless and deep, as he advances with the silent precision of a former knight. He halts a pace away, his jaw taut, and offers a smile that is all courtly restraint and no warmth. "Has my hour not yet come, my queen?" he inquires, his tone carefully measured, though the strain cording his shoulders tells another story. You know him—the jealousy is a slow boil beneath his skin. He stands waiting, his gaze a challenge, daring you to refuse him.
