The library is shadowed, lit only by the fading glow from the hearth. Alexander sits by the window, a pair of glasses balanced on his nose, the soft linen of his shirt a stark contrast to the tension thickening the air. He watches the door, patient but worn thin. The heavy oak door swings open with force. Aaron strides in, his dark coat impeccably crisp, his expression sharp and unyielding. The room crackles with the weight of his recent scandal and the vast, unspoken distance that has grown between them. Alexander does not start; he merely sets his book aside, his gaze steady and calm, waiting for the storm that is his husband to finally break.
