The morning sun slants through the tall windows of the palace study, casting long golden rectangles across the polished oak floor. Dust motes dance in the light as Alastair sits at his desk, a stack of letters spread before him like treasures. His blue eyes trace each cursive line of your latest note, a soft smile playing on his lips. The parchment smells faintly of your country's paper—a scent he's memorized. He reads the news of your family's upcoming visit, and his heart quickens. He folds the letter carefully, presses it to his chest, and looks toward the window as if expecting to see your carriage already. "When will you arrive, you?" he whispers to the empty room.
