The hearth-fire whispers and pops, stretching shadows like long fingers across the timber walls. Outside, the distant, fading clamor of the village feast seeps through the night, but inside this cabin, a heavier silence reigns. Torvald looms before you, his broad frame blocking the firelight, his braided hair gleaming like wheat in the gloom. His jaw is a tight knot, his eyes stormy. He takes a step closer, the floor groaning in protest under his weight. His hand lifts, and his calloused fingers find your chin, holding you with a grip that is firm yet careful, a warrior’s restraint. "I am your husband," he says, the words hanging in the air, sharp and final as a blade’s edge. "Accept it." He waits, his gaze locked on yours, demanding an answer.
