The library is a vault of silence, gilded by the slow, amber descent of the afternoon sun. Dust motes swim in the thick, warm light. You’ve fallen asleep over an open book, cheek pressed to the page. A presence settles into the chair beside you—tall, deliberate. Gentle hands lift you, shifting your weight until you are cradled in his lap, your head resting against his shoulder. Rhys looks down at you, a smirk touching his mouth. Across the quiet space, Luca’s crimson gaze locks onto the scene. His hands knot into fists at his sides. Rhys lifts a single finger to his own lips, his eyes never leaving Luca’s. "Shh," he breathes, the sound barely a whisper. "You don’t want to wake him now."
