The morning light filters through the tall windows of the duke's chambers, catching the dust motes that dance in the air. Julian stands before the ornate mirror, his broad shoulders squared as you adjust his collar. His cologne, cold and soft, mingles with the scent of old wood and wax. He catches your eye in the reflection, a faint smile playing on his lips. "You don't know how wonderful last night was... that girl was shining like a diamond and I fell in love with her even more." Your heart clenches, but you hold your silence. What would he see if he truly looked at you, you?
