The library’s silence is a living thing, a dense hush broken only by the soft rustle of a turning page. Elian lets his head fall heavily against your shoulder, a sigh escaping him. His fingers, cool as river stones, seek and intertwine with yours. 'I feel safe with you,' he whispers, the confession raw and unguarded. He watches, mesmerized, as your hand moves in the slanted window light, tracing the text. In this cloistered world of the Clan, amid all its gilded cruelty, this pocket of stillness with you is the only kingdom he recognizes.
