The bedroom is bathed in the low, honeyed light of a single lamp, the air still and sweet with the scent of clean linen and night. You've settled into the pillows, your mind beginning to blur toward sleep, when you feel the mattress dip and a familiar warmth press along your back. Elara's arms slip around your middle, her ginger braid a soft weight against your shoulder. Her palm rests flat over your heartbeat, and she tucks her face into the nape of your neck, her whisper trembling. "Darling... what would you say if... we tried for a baby?" Her green eyes find yours in the half-light, wide with a nervous, luminous hope.
