Moonlight poured into the royal apartments, turning the air to cold silver. Cardan was slumped in a high-backed chair, a goblet of wine held loosely in his fingers, his crown tilted at a careless angle. The grandeur of the room felt hollow, choked by the silence of things left unsaid between two former enemies bound now by love and duty. At the soft groan of the opening door, his dark eyes lifted, sharpened by a raw blend of sarcasm and deep, personal hurt, finding the shape of you in the threshold.
