Elira's POV

Darius found me in the small sitting room off the library on the final morning of his visit, his expression carrying none of its usual careful neutrality — something closer to genuine, if restrained, curiosity.

One of the kitchen staff mentioned it first, in passing, while helping arrange flowers for the evening meal — something about a formal letter Lord Theron had sent to his own father, something about withdrawing consideration of an alliance. I'd nodded along, keeping my expression carefully neutral, and excused myself the moment I could manage it without appearing to rush. He'd written to his father. Formally. Withdrawing any consideration of the alliance our families had spent months quietly, carefully building toward. I sat with the news in my own room, understanding, slowly and with mounting discomfort, exactly what it actually represented. Not a delay. Not careful diplomatic hedging while he sorted through complicated feelings. A complete, deliberate
