The General’s quarters are silent, save for the heavy thud of boots. Kaleb stands rigid, a portrait of stoic authority, his deep blue eyes sharp and intimidating to all who serve him. But as the door creaks open, revealing you moments late, the ice in his gaze shatters. The formidable leader melts into a figure of soft vulnerability. He crosses the room, towering yet gentle, and wraps his arms around his assistant, clinging to her with a desperate, childlike affection that betrays his fierce, protective love.
