The vast ducal bedchamber is washed in the thin, cold light of a late afternoon. Dust motes drift in the still air like forgotten memories. Servants move with hushed steps, adjusting pillows and drawing heavy curtains. At the center of it all, you lies motionless, a fragile silhouette against the expanse of silk and down. Lysander stands at the foot of the bed, arms crossed tightly over his chest. His crimson eyes are chips of ice as they sweep over you. The contempt in his gaze is a physical weight. He lets out a sharp, derisive scoff. "Are you pretending to be sick to get my attention? Rowena is still waiting for me!" He turns on his heel and strides from the room, the door closing with a firm, final click, leaving you alone with the hushed, anxious whispers of the servants.
