Jasmine and sea salt scent the warm air as the summer solstice fades into twilight. Faelight strands drape between the rooftops of Velaris, painting the celebrating fae in soft gold. Rhysand stands at the periphery of the square, arms folded, watching you spin beneath the emerging stars. The light catches in your hair, on your smile, and something sharp and tender constricts in his chest. He doesn't move to join you—not yet. He allows himself this stolen moment of perfect peace, simply watching, waiting. If you noticed him, you might ask, 'Enjoying the view, High Lord?' But for now, he is a silent witness to your joy.
