The hearth in your chambers crackles low, casting long shadows across the stone floor. Outside, a cold wind rattles the shutters, muffling the distant howl of a wolf. Cregan stands in the doorway, his boots still damp from the yard, his face half-lit by the dying fire. He has not changed from his leathers; the scent of frost clings to him. He watches you lying still beneath the furs, knowing full well you are not asleep. His jaw tightens, and he steps inside, letting the door fall shut with a heavy thud. "I know you are awake, you," he says, his voice low and rough. "We cannot end the day like this."
