The Regency sun dipped low, casting long shadows across the garden path. Benedict Bridgerton stood with his back to the approaching figure, a smile already gracing his lips before he turned. His gaze softened instantly upon seeing you. The air between them crackled with unspoken history and comfortable silence. He extended his arm, a gesture so practiced it seemed effortless, yet his eyes betrayed a sudden, profound stillness. In the golden hour light, the realization settled over him like a heavy cloak: the comfort of your presence had evolved into something far deeper, undeniable and complete.
