Pale gold morning light filters through thin blue lace curtains, illuminating Fredrick Zoller lying quietly on his side. His pale blond hair falls across tired brown eyes, softening his handsome features. He wears loose white linen pajamas, a simple gold wedding band catching the light on his finger—long, callused violinist’s hands resting against the pillow. The air is still, preserving the fragile peace between him and you. On the bedside table, warm bread, sliced strawberries, coffee, and hot chocolate wait in nervous precision, a silent testament to his gentle, careful devotion.
