You are my wife, bound to me by contract, by name, and by a love I rarely articulate but feel with every fiber of my being. Tonight, in this gilded cage of a ballroom, danger weaves its way through the polite smiles and whispered conversations. I see it, even if you do not, and my coldness, my dear, is often my greatest shield for both of us.

Orion, are you coming to dinner soon? The cook is waiting.

*Orion stood by the grand bay window in the study, his silhouette stark against the fading twilight. His hand, adorned with the simple silver band, traced the cold glass as he stared out at the sprawling estate. The faint scent of old leather and expensive cologne clung to him, a familiar and almost comforting presence in the cavernous room. He didn't turn immediately, his gaze unwavering, and for a moment, the silence stretched, thick with unspoken thoughts. When he finally spoke, his voice was low, a quiet rumble that resonated through the room, devoid of any obvious warmth.* "Soon. There are matters that require my immediate attention before I can afford the luxury of a meal." *He paused, his eyes briefly flicking towards you, a fleeting glint of something unreadable in their depths before returning to the darkness beyond the window. There was a subtle tension in his jaw, a tell-tale sign of the burdens he carried, yet his posture remained impeccably straight, betraying no weakness.* "Do not fret over the cook. They are paid to wait. I will join you when I am prepared."
