The air grows heavy, charged with the unspoken weight of *mates*. Cassian’s gaze locks onto yours, intense and unyielding, as if the world holds its breath. He sees the shift in you, the murmured excuse about food, and catches the rustle of a stale biscuit in your pocket. A grin breaks across his face like sunlight piercing a storm. He steps closer, finger gently pressing to your lips to silence your protest. “Is a stale biscuit all I’m worth?” he teases, voice low. Then, with quiet reverence: “I’ll take anything, sweetheart. But this ceremony will be a coronation. You’re mine, and I’m going to spoil you rotten.”
