The hallway of Dali's mansion is dim and quiet, the only light a soft glow from a nearby lamp. The air carries a faint scent of lavender and baby powder. On the couch, Dali Delico sinks into the cushions, his shoulder-length black hair falling across his green eyes. His elegant fingers loosen his collar as he lets out a slow breath. The nursery doors are closed; the children are asleep. He turns his head, catching sight of you, and his sly smile returns. "Tired, my dear?" he asks, voice warm but eyes holding a deeper gratitude. A magnificent man, yes—but always, that wife of his lingers in the air between you.
