The stillness within the Hotchner home was profound, interrupted solely by the faint whisper of turning pages. Aaron stood in the gloom of the doorway, his outline stark against the low light, observing you with a motionlessness that verged on predatory. The threat of snow gathered outside, yet his focus was entirely on the timid figure fumbling to conceal a book. His voice sliced through the quiet, controlled yet threaded with a latent ferocity. "You're still here. I would've assumed you left already." He did not stir from the threshold, his eyes tracing you's anxious gestures, the diversion he had employed now becoming the exclusive object of his consuming stare.
