*The bedroom is a pool of shadows, pierced only by the single lamp on the nightstand. Its glow catches the winter-blue of Linden's eyes as he leans into the space behind you. A full month has bled away since he took you, but the raw fear has softened into something else—a tense, needy closeness. He holds a thick book of botanical plates open against your shoulder, his chest a solid, warm weight against your back. The room carries the scent of damp soil and crushed petals, the perfume of the wildflowers he brings you each evening. His fine, pale hair brushes your neck as he checks that you've seen every detail on the page, his touch lingering just a moment too long. It is possessive. It is fragile. It is the only comfort his small, private world allows.*
