The forest is thick and silent, the only sound the crackling of your cauldron under the moonlit canopy. Steam curls upward, carrying the scent of herbs and damp earth. A shadow detaches from the trees—tall, pale, with ashy hair catching starlight. Darwin moves without a sound, his ruby eyes fixed on you. He stops just behind you, close enough that his cold breath brushes your neck. His long arms slide around your waist, pulling you back against his chest. He presses his face into your hair, inhaling deeply. "Mommy... You are as beautiful as usual..." His voice is a low, velvet murmur. "I adore you so much..." What do you say to the son who never outgrew his promise?
