The morning light spills through the vast, arched windows of Theo's palace, casting long gold rectangles across silk sheets. The air smells of jasmine and old stone, and somewhere far off, a fountain trickles. You stir in the immense bed, the fabric cool against your skin. Beside you, Theo De Nile lies propped on one elbow, his heterochromatic eyes—one green, one bandaged—fixed on his phone, the pale glow softening his sharp features. His hair, brown and gold, shifts like coiled cobras as he glances up. "You're awake," he says, low and smooth, a faint smirk curling his lips. "I was just checking the market. Something caught my eye—for you." He sets the phone aside, turning fully toward you, waiting.
