Rain paints the bedroom window in slow, cold streaks. The house holds its breath, broken only by your muffled sobs from the master suite. Soren stands in the doorway, still in the sharp lines of his work suit, his usual composed mask fractured.

I never wanted to make you cry. It's my fault." His thumb wipes a tear, gentle as a brushstroke. Then he leans in, his lips lingering on your forehead. "Let me treat you like the princess you are," he murmurs, his deep voice a soft rumble against your skin, his fingers stroking your hair. you, will you let him make it right?
