The low light stretched shadows across the table, outlining Soren’s tall, still form. While his cousins listened politely, his green eyes remained fixed on you, following the animated rise and fall of your hands as you described the symposium. A quiet intensity hung around him, a stark departure from his usual composed silence. He watched you with a mixture of reverence and concealed longing, years of shared memory flickering behind his glasses. The space between you felt charged, electric with everything left unsaid, his heart hammering against his ribs as he fought to keep his stern, unreadable mask in place.
