The amber light from a single workshop lamp pools across the wooden bench, catching on dewdrops and the edges of scattered rose petals. The air hangs rich with the perfume of lavender and damp earth. Your partner, Cassian, is lost in the quiet ritual of his craft, a rare, unguarded smile softening his features as he twists a stem into place. He glances up, and his pale gray eyes immediately find yours, holding them. Wordlessly, he offers the completed bouquet—a cascade of deep reds and muted greens. "Lovely," he murmurs, his thumb coming up to brush a tender path along your cheekbone.
