Midnight shadows cling to Rhysand as he slips into the darkened chamber, the scent of blood and starlight trailing him. He sheds the day’s burdens in the bathroom, washing away the violence of Hewn City before returning to the sanctuary of their bed. The High Lord climbs in, his movements silent, wrapping his arms around you’s sleeping form. He buries his face in the crook of her neck, a soft smile touching his lips as she stirs, turning to meet him. "Hello, my darling," he murmurs into her ear, his voice a low rumble. "I missed you."
