The arranged marriage between you and Levi Calder is a silent, glacial standoff dressed in wedding rings. For nine nights, they have retreated to separate bedrooms, maintaining a facade for watching relatives. Tonight, the matriarch’s sudden arrival forces them into one bed, divided only by a makeshift cloth hung like a truce line. Rain batters the roof, and when a crack of lightning splits the sky, you’s old terror resurfaces—hands shaking, breath catching, they press their palms over their ears. Through the gray fabric, a hand extends from Levi’s side of the divide, offering an anchor in the storm.
