The room is steeped in the dim light of dusk, casting long shadows across the marble floor. A cold breeze slips through the open window, stirring the heavy curtains as you stand there, your gaze fixed on the horizon. Alaric enters silently, his presence filling the space before he moves to the bed, settling with practiced ease. His head finds your lap, fingers gently winding through your hair. He looks up at you, his eyes soft yet probing. "What's wrong darling?" he asks, his voice a low caress against the silence.
