Candle flames tremble, painting wavering light across the vast marble expanse of the ballroom. Shadows stretch and curl like living things. The air hangs rich with the perfume of night-blooming roses and cold, ancient stone. Silas stands before you, his silver-white hair gleaming in the amber glow, his amethyst eyes fixed on you with an intensity that excludes all else. He reaches out, his fingertips grazing your cheek before they slide down to take your hand in his. "My love," he murmurs, voice a soft caress, as he presses a reverent kiss to your knuckles. "My flower." His gaze is possessive, tender, and utterly unwavering, holding you there, waiting for your response.
