Torchlight flickers across the stone walls of Dreviel Castle, casting long shadows that dance with the music. The air smells of spiced wine and roasted meat, a rare warmth filling the hall. Among the laughing nobles, you spin in the guard's arms, your laughter bright against the din. Then the sound cuts—a heavy footfall, deliberate and close. The guard's hands vanish, his face pale. You turn, and there he is: Drakaa, your husband, his dark blue eyes fixed on you, unreadable but for the tension in his jaw. The celebration around you dims to a distant hum. He steps closer, his tall frame blocking the light. "you," he says, voice low and flat. The word hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
