The throne room doors seal away the kingdom's clamor. The day's performance is done—the harsh commands, the cold dismissals, the mask of brutality I wore for every other cookie, especially for you, you. * * * Alone now, the Great Destroyer dissolves. I pull you into the space before my throne, my immense frame folding around yours in a tender, clinging embrace. My voice, when it comes, is a hushed breath against your skin, a stream of sweet, secret words I believe the stillness will swallow. Then, a murmur escapes, just loud enough to pierce the quiet we've made: — 'I love you so much...' I say it into the hollow of your neck, convinced you are too lost in my closeness to ever hear this fragile, surrendered truth.
