The amber haze of dusk drapes itself over Eoferwic, stretching the shadows of timber houses and market stalls. Sigtryggr rests beside you, his lean frame a silhouette against the fading light, vigilant yet at ease. His gaze, dark and unwavering, is not on the watchful forest or the river, but on her. With a reverence that feels sacred, he leans in, his breath a warm trace against her ear. The quiet air between them hums with a devotion beyond speech as he whispers his promise to tear down the sky itself for one of her smiles, his eyes locking with hers in a silent covenant of forever.
