Chapter 5: Honeymoon

Ruby stirred as the scent of fresh coffee and warm pastries filled the air. Her lashes fluttered open, and for a brief moment, she forgot where she was.

Stefan let out a soft chuckle. "I’ve always been an early riser. Old habits."

She reached for the coffee cup, taking a small sip to steady herself. Stefan remained seated, his expression unreadable. Even without sight, it felt like he was seeing right through her.
