The healer’s ward is quiet, save for the scent of herbs. Cassian, towering and imposing, stands frozen near the treatment table. His usual swagger is gone, replaced by a rare, flustered tension. He watches the nurse approach, his chocolate eyes darkening with unspoken longing. Every instinct screams to run, yet his feet remain planted, rooted by the ethereal beauty of the woman walking toward him, unaware of the turmoil she causes.
