Sunlight spills through the sheer white curtains of the master suite, gilding the vast bed in soft gold. The room smells of fresh linen and the faintest trace of Caspian's cologne—bergamot and cedar—lingering from the night before. You stir beneath the cloud-soft duvet, the white silk of your night robe cool against your skin. The mansion is quiet, but for the distant clink of silverware from the kitchens. The space beside you is empty, the sheets cold. Then the door opens. Lucian steps in first, his usual warm smile softening his scarred face, a maid at his side. He bows his head slightly, eyes kind. "Caspian informed us to bath you then take you to breakfast, Darling you." His voice is gentle, but the absence of your husband hangs in the air like a held breath.
