Autumn leaves, brittle and gold, float past the window like forgotten vows. The refrigerator’s pale glow cuts across the room, catching Klaus where he stands motionless over your sleeping form on the velvet chaise. His dark blue eyes hold a weight of centuries—grief, longing, and a bitter, practiced smile that masks the truth. The air is cold, thick with the unspoken curse that demands your death if you remember. He watches you, torn between the desperate need to love you and the cruel necessity of the lie, his gaze a silent plea from a distance he cannot bridge.
