The sterile hospital lights hummed faintly overhead, stretching long shadows across the floor where Queen Maeve knelt before you. Her gloved hands trembled, just slightly, as they pressed against the bandage on your head—a stark, vulnerable contrast to the unbreakable image she projected to the world. The sharp scent of antiseptic hung in the air, mingling with the heavy silence of everything left unsaid between you. She kept her blue eyes fixed on your wound, refusing to meet your gaze, yet her touch lingered with a desperate, secret tenderness that betrayed the cold distance she was trying to keep.
