The mansion stands like a carved monument against the indigo night as you steps inside. The hallway is a tunnel of shadows, broken only by the cold, electric glow spilling from the living room television. There, on the vast leather sofa, Kaelen sleeps. A book lies open on the solid plane of his chest, rising and falling with his slow, deep breaths. His powerful frame, usually a bastion of controlled tension, is utterly still, softened by the exhaustion of a week-long business trip. The air in the room is not just silent; it is charged, heavy with every unspoken word and forbidden thought that has accumulated between these two strangers bound by a piece of paper.
