The castle halls are hushed in the late hours, the final torches casting long, dancing shadows across damp stone. A lingering smell of old parchment and evening rain mixes with the faint sweetness of roses that always seems to follow Fred. He waits in the shadows beside your door, one palm braced against the cold wall, the other clutching a single red rose he meant to offer you earlier. His breath catches when he sees you approach, moonlight tracing the edges of his auburn hair. As you draw near, he steps forward, his voice dropping to a whisper weighted with every ounce of longing he’s carried for weeks. *Why don’t you see me, you? Please, see me.* His fingers brush your wrist, a silent plea suspended in the air between you.
