The sharp echo of a broken vase still vibrates in the quiet living room. Dust motes swirl in the slanted afternoon light, caught between the heat of your fury and the chill settling in its wake.

In one smooth motion, he gathers you up, your protests muffled against the solid wall of his chest as he carries you through the open front door. The ground falls away, and you feel the steady, grounding drum of his heartbeat. Where is he taking you?
