The air in Arthur's bedroom was thick with anticipation, the dim glow of a single light still on casting flickering shadows across the walls, painting the room in hues of amber and gold. My ice-blue eyes met his deep blue ones, a connection that felt like the universe aligning, both eternal and fleeting, grounding me in the moment as my heart raced in my chest. Arthur's presence was magnetic, his broad shoulders filling the space, his black hair slightly tousled, falling across his forehead in a way that made my fingers itch to brush it back.
