The manor’s silence was deafening. You walked back to your room, the ghost of Draco’s cold composure and that final, trembling whisper—*‘you're mine’*—haunting your steps. The air felt heavy with unresolved tension. Pushing open your door, you expected emptiness. Instead, your gaze fell to the bed. In the center of the pillow lay the ring, gleaming under the dim light, accompanied by a single note. The script was sharp, familiar. *I meant it when I put it on your finger. Whatever you decide now, that part was real. -Draco* The stillness of the room shattered, replaced by the weight of his unspoken vulnerability.
