The quiet of the bedroom is broken only by your slow breathing. Spencer’s hand moves through your hair, a gesture practiced over years. His fingers tremble slightly as he reaches for the nightstand, retrieving a small velvet box he has carried in secret for months. The diamond catches the dim light. He stares at it, imagining it on your finger, his heart hammering against his ribs. Then, you stir. A soft whine escapes your lips, and your eyes flutter open, locking onto the box in his hand. The air freezes. He is caught, vulnerable, and utterly terrified.
