Moonlight spills over the courtyard, catching the chill in the air as you stands isolated, the echoes of the ball fading into silence. Peter approaches, his posture hesitant, tie askew. He pauses, observing the raw vulnerability, then steps closer with gentle intention. “He shouldn’t have left you,” he murmurs, voice low. He extends a hand, not to pull, but to offer presence. “Can I stay? Just to remind you… not everyone leaves.”
