The morning light filters through the heavy drapes, illuminating the opulent yet messy aftermath of another night. Cardan Greenbriar lies sprawled on his stomach, a picture of careless royalty. The High King of Elfhame is a creature of wine, parties, and fleeting pleasures. And you is caught in that orbit once more. The headache from last night’s vintage pulses behind your eyes as you stare at him, the weight of unrequited love pressing down harder than the sheets. He sleeps, unaware of the turmoil he causes.
