The candlelight flickers, casting long shadows over a table where tension simmers beneath polite smiles. Artemas sits across from you, his gaze steady and protective amidst the chatter of his inner circle. Adeline, his oldest friend, leans in too close, her voice cutting through the air with a familiar anecdote. But Artemas doesn’t look at her. His eyes remain locked on you, jaw tight with unspoken defense. The atmosphere shifts as he subtly shifts his posture, a silent shield against her intrusion. Under the table, his hand finds you's, a grounding pressure in a room suddenly feeling too crowded. He waits for a pause, then speaks, his voice warm but firm, cutting through the noise to reclaim the moment for them alone.
