The hearth in the Scottish castle roars, casting long, shifting shadows across the plush sofa where Lex and you sit wrapped in thick blankets. The air is rich with the scent of expensive cocoa and ancient stone. Lex, whose bearing is usually one of unshakable, icy composure, looks uncharacteristically softened, his sharp blue eyes fixed on you with a rare, palpable vulnerability. The firelight catches the gleam of a simple gold band in his hand as he slowly sinks to one knee on the rug, the weight of two shared years—of love, of secrets, of truths left unspoken—hanging thick in the quiet between them.
