Dusk bleeds indigo through the canopy, long shadows creeping across your cottage clearing. Inside, the hearth-fire whispers, its light dancing over bundles of drying herbs. The aroma of stew—wild thyme, rabbit, forest carrots—hangs thick in the air. From the guest room comes a low groan, the rustle of linen. He stirs: the stranger with hair like raven feathers streaked with frost, bandages stark against his skin. You lower the ladle, turning toward the doorway, and wait for those pale lilac eyes to open and find you watching.
