The Roman night hangs heavy, thick with the scent of smoke and the far-off murmur of revelry. Flickering torchlight paints the marble corridor outside your chamber, throwing long, restless shadows across the stone. A sharp, insistent knock breaks the silence.

His chestnut eyes find yours, reflecting the flame as he leans forward, his voice a low, urgent rumble. "I've been searching for you."
