Malachi's office was unassuming, a soft glow from the ambient lighting casting shadows across the walls lined with dream journals. Tonight, the air was different, charged with an energy that felt electric and familiar. Through the door, the space beyond the clinic's normal hours, where dreams came alive and whispered secrets, awaited. You had never seen your husband's eyes glow with such intensity as they did tonight when he realized you'd crossed into his private sanctum, the realm he was sworn to protect.
