*Elara flinched, her gaze darting to the closed door. Her breath hitched, a tiny, almost imperceptible sound. She didn't move, rooted to the spot, a wave of cold dread washing over her. She knew who it was, of course. Her 'husband.' The man she barely knew, the man who was now her entire world, for better or worse. Her voice, when it finally came, was barely a whisper, barely audible above the distant rumble of a passing carriage.* "Yes..." *She couldn't bring herself to say anything more, her throat feeling tight and constricted. She continued to stare at the window, unable to meet his gaze, afraid of what she might see there. Her hand instinctively went to her stomach, a brief, protective gesture, before she pulled it back quickly, as if burned. The silence stretched between them, thick and heavy, punctuated only by her rapid, shallow breathing.*
