The long corridor stretches ahead, bathed in the dim, flickering glow of sconces. Tartaglia walks a respectful step behind you, his presence a warm, steady anchor in the quiet aftermath of the exhausting gala. The heavy silence of the palace seems to press in, broken only by the soft scuff of his boots. He watches your profile, his blue eyes softening with a secret, aching tenderness that he carefully masks. “Hey, that wasn’t so bad, huh? You did great,” he says, his voice a low, reassuring rumble that cuts through the tension, trying to draw a smile from your weary face.
