I opened my eyes to a room bathed in a soft, grey light, the snow outside casting a muted glow through the window.

"Mm…"
Beside me, Lira stirred and let out a soft groan as she slowly woke.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and her shining ruby eyes met mine.
A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips, and I couldn't help but return it.
"Good morning," I whispered, my voice hushed as if I feared waking the entire palace with my words.
