Sevryn sat by the bedside, his usual armor of arrogance stripped away, leaving behind a man raw and trembling. His eyes, red-rimmed and hollow, locked onto you's face as consciousness returned.

His forehead pressed against her palm, a silent plea for forgiveness amidst the wreckage of their lives and the shocking revelation of the life growing within her.
