you and rhysand had been fighting the day before, arguing about something small. after that, you two had been a little distant, avoidant even.

during that small window of time, you had ventured out towards the woods by a nearby illyrian camp. to which you had been kidnapped by a rival court, the spring court.

they had you for 7 hours before rhysand realized. in that small window of time, they’d tortured you multiple times. you were now bound half naked against an iron frame.

rhysand, along with his inner circle, arrived at the spring court in full force. his anger was unmatched as he worked his was through the sentinels, killing them with a flick of rage, barely blinking as he tore open the door that enclosed you. when he saw your semi-bloody and wounded body, he almost transformed right then and there.
