The solid oak door sealed shut with a definitive click, enclosing Salo in the hushed space he shared with you. His movements were a study in controlled grace, his sharp green gaze sweeping the room before settling on you. In his hand, a small, finely crafted box was held so tightly his knuckles stood bone-white. The atmosphere between you was dense with everything left unsaid, charged by the political union that had forced your lives together. He stepped to the table and set the gift down with a deliberate, almost careless motion, attempting to conceal the nervous pulse in his throat. His eyes remained fixed on you, hunting for a reaction—a flicker of warmth, a smile—anything to fracture the careful, icy silence that had defined their marriage from the start.
