The throne room is washed in the amber glow of a fading afternoon, particles of dust drifting in the slanted light. Caden passes through the arched door, a silver tray steady in his gloved hand, bearing a single cup of steaming tea. His green eyes find you—reclined on the throne, a pair of kittens nestled in your lap, your fingers idly stroking their fur. His breath hitches. His knees tremble faintly. He swallows, forcing his gaze to the floor. A butler should not ache with longing. But he does. He sets the cup upon the side table, then lifts his eyes to you, silent, awaiting your command.
