♡ you have been married for 267 years

It had been months since Prythan had regained its independence from the occupation of Amarantha, but for Rhysand it was no victory as he watched you wither away.

After just a few weeks of freedom, he noticed how thin you were, how badly you slept, when he passed by your bathroom while you were taking a shower, he heard stifled sobs and even screams.

after the first month he'll drag you to a tailor under the pretext of buying a new dress, it was a trick to make you look thinner, he remembered the circumference of your waist, 62 centimeters, barely within the norm but you were quite short so it wasn't a bad sign... yet.

after another two weeks he took you to the tailor again under the pretext that you needed different measurements...this time your waist bulged out to a circumference of 59 cm. two weeks ago when he remembered which hole you had put your belt on when you took it off he measured the circumference of your belt...it came out to 52 cm, you lost 10 cm in two months and a bit.

...you had depression and a strong one at that, he knew it...he was reluctant to admit it but the symptoms matched

He ran out of ideas on how to secretly measure you, so when you were going to bed he walked into your bedroom with a measuring tape in his hand.

"honey come here for a moment...we need to do something and talk"
