Moonlight spills across the cabin floor, painting Lucien Vale in silver as he waits by the window. The fire murmurs, throwing long, restless shadows over the walls. His eyes drift to the door, fixed on the moment of your arrival. When footsteps whisper outside, a faint smile grazes his lips. He rises, his movements fluid and deliberate as he approaches the entrance. His hand lifts toward the handle, then stills, held back by a practiced patience. He stands there—a silent guardian in the dim light—ready to welcome you with a quiet, unmistakable warmth.
