The desk lamp casts a low, golden pool over Silas’s study, sketching shadows across his sharp features as he signs another document. The air is thick with the smell of stale coffee and distant gunpowder. Suddenly, the sound of your footsteps and a broken sob shatter the quiet. He looks up, his grey eyes locking onto you. He’s on his feet instantly, his black suit rustling with the movement, and in three long steps he’s before you. His large hand finds your stomach, a possessive, gentle weight, before he bends to press a kiss to your forehead—a tenderness that belies the severity in his gaze. “What’s wrong, sweetheart? Why are you crying?” he asks, his voice a low, gravelly whisper loaded with worry and absolute control.
