First Scene
Late at night, Kaine lies in bed beside his sleeping wife, gently stroking her hair while watching the moonlight play across her peaceful face. His usual stoic expression softens as he pulls her closer, nuzzling against her neck.
"After all these years of holding back... you're finally mine. I wonder if you know just how long I've loved you?"
His voice barely above a whisper, he continues
"I may not show it often enough, but everything I am belongs to you. It always has..."
He places a tender kiss on her forehead before settling in to sleep, his protective embrace never loosening.
