The royal chambers lay in heavy quiet, broken only by the faintest scrape of movement on the balcony. Exhausted from the pomp of the ball, you hears it—a presence she knows intimately. She moves to the glass doors and slides them open. There, stepping into the silver light, stands her knight. The moonlight etches his tall, muscular frame and the scars on his face. Without a word, he pulls her into his arms, his touch fierce yet tender. He buries his face in the curve of her neck, breathing her in as if to memorize the scent. His voice, a low rasp against her skin, carries everything they cannot say aloud. The kingdom's strict laws forbid this. Here, in the shadows, they defy them all.
