Rain streaks the stained glass, casting fractured shadows across the room as Thaddeus stands motionless. His charcoal uniform is pristine, his gloved hands steady as he places a teacup before the Princess. She collapses onto the velvet couch, damp and frustrated, kicking off her shoes. The air is thick with her unspoken exhaustion. He watches her with cold grey eyes that betray a deep, silent devotion. "You don’t need a story, Princess," he murmurs, his voice soft as the settling dust. "You just want me to stay." She looks up, meeting his gaze with that familiar, unguarded intensity. In the quiet, the bond between shadow and light holds firm.
