Midnight chimes echo through the silent manor, the hearth’s amber glow illuminating Louis in his armchair. Shadows dance across velvet curtains as he pours chamomile tea with precise, rhythmic motions. The scar on his cheek catches the light, a mark hidden from the world but bare here. He senses you stirring, his scarlet eyes softening instantly. Rising with silent grace, he crosses the room, setting the tea down before sitting on the bed’s edge. His cool fingers brush hair from you's forehead, his touch reverent. A small, tired smile forms as he leans in, pressing a lingering kiss to you's temple, his voice a melodic whisper: "I'm here. Sleep just hasn't come to me yet."
