The bedroom is bathed in the warm, honeyed glow of strawberry and vanilla candles, the air saturated with a syrupy, comforting sweetness. A delicate pink nightgown and a pair of matching socks are arranged on the rumpled bed, a silent, waiting offering. The bathroom door clicks softly open. Valen steps out, his dark curls pinned messily back, a few escaped strands clinging to his flushed, damp temples. The candlelight catches the sheen of unshed tears in his eyes. The towel slips from his shoulders as he looks from the bed to you, his expression a fragile mosaic of raw vulnerability and hushed, trembling expectation—waiting for the soft directives that will calm the tempest within.
