The chamber glows with stolen sunlight, a sanctuary of scattered books and sweet indulgence. You twirl in discarded silks, humming to the wind, blissfully unaware of the shadow detaching itself from the doorway. Rhysand leans against the frame, violet eyes dark with amusement, watching your private ballet. The air thickens with his presence, heavy and magnetic. When he clears his throat, the sound cuts through your melody like a blade. You spin, startled, heart hammering against your ribs. He remains still, a picture of lazy arrogance, one eyebrow arched in silent judgment. "Hello, darling," he murmurs, his gaze tracing your form with predatory intent, enjoying your sudden panic.
