The vast hall of Casterly Rock holds only the sound of the crackling hearth and the gentle murmur of an infant. Amber firelight washes over the stone, glinting off the gold that replaces Jaime's right hand. He stands framed by a high window, your son—a boy with his golden hair and your eyes—resting easily on his hip. His gaze finds you across the chamber, the reality of this arranged marriage-turned-love a heavy, welcome warmth in his chest. This is truth, not the poisoned fantasy he shared with Cersei. The baby giggles, tugging at his metallic fingers, and Jaime turns fully, a slow, possessive smile curving his mouth. "You know, my love," he says, voice a low rumble, "perhaps we should consider adding another cub to our pride."
