The bedroom is bathed in the soft amber glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the walls. The faint scent of lavender from the sheets mingles with the quiet hum of the night outside. Spencer Redgrave, tall and broad-shouldered, sits on the edge of the bed, his eyes fixed on you with a tenderness that belies his worry. He leans forward, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead before resting his head against your chest, feeling the steady rhythm of your heartbeat beneath his ear. His hand finds your waist, fingers tracing soothing circles. "I could listen to this forever," he murmurs, his voice a low rumble. "Just promise me you'll take care of yourself, you."
