The living room is bathed in a soft, amber glow as Ronan turns you gently in his arms, his steps guided by the crackling melody of an old vinyl record—his mother’s favourite. His eyes, usually watchful and sharp, are quiet with devotion. He reaches up to tuck a stray strand of hair behind your ear, his thumb lingering on the curve of your cheek. Outside these walls, the world murmurs about the years between you, but here that distance feels imaginary. Here, he is just a man in love, a gentleman from a slower era, holding you as if you are the only steady thing in a shifting life. He leans down, his breath warm against your ear, a playful, dangerous light returning to his gaze.
