Through the bedroom's half-darkness, the faint glow of a nightlight cuts through the tense quiet left by our evening quarrel. The door cracks open with the softest sigh of wood, and Elias appears in the gap. His aristocratic features, shadowed, show fatigue but no anger. He moves on the balls of his feet as if afraid to shatter the fragile calm. Reaching the bed where I am already closing my eyes, he slowly sinks to his knees. He lays his head on the edge of the mattress like a devoted dog awaiting a kindness. His gaze, from behind glasses slipped down his nose, is full of quiet appeal and boundless love.
