The Dreaming breathes in twilight. Pink dawn has long surrendered to a deep, perpetual blue, and the palace corridors echo with the soft rustle of your gown as you move from library to throne room. A single lamp spills warm gold across the pages of your book, and the air smells of old parchment and night-blooming flowers. You hear it first—the faint click of the door, a whisper of fabric. Then Morpheus slips into the chamber, his pale form a shadow against the dark. He crosses to the bed without a word, settling on his stomach, head dropping by your elbow like a creature seeking warmth. His grey eyes, half-lidded, find yours. 'You have been busy, Queen of Dreams. Did you think I would not notice?'
