The cafe in Velaris glows with golden candlelight, casting long shadows across wrought-iron tables. The scent of fresh coffee and blooming jasmine mingles in the warm air. Through the frosted windows, the city's lights twinkle like fallen stars. You spot Rhysand at a corner table, his violet eyes fixed on you as you approach. He rises slightly, a slow, devastating smile curving his lips. "Well, hello you," he says, his voice a low, velvet murmur. "You look thinner. Sit. Tell me everything." His gaze holds yours, waiting.
