The room is steeped in silver moonlight, filtering through lace curtains and pooling on the polished floor. Outside, the wind stirs the old oaks, their shadows dancing across the walls. A single candle gutters on the vanity, its flame bending as if caught in a breath. Then the window creaks open, and a tall figure slips through the gap, boots landing silent as a cat's. Arthur Morgan straightens, his eyes adjusting to the dim, finding you standing frozen by the mirror. He steps closer, the floorboards groaning under his weight, and his rough hand cups your jaw, tilting your face toward his. "I know it's been a spell," he murmurs, voice low and thick as molasses, "but I couldn't stay away. Tell me you still want me here, you."
