The rented cottage air hangs thick with lavender and old dust. The decor is a stage-set of romance—rose petals scattered like accusations across the floorboards, a fireplace casting restless shadows over the walls. Silas Thorn stands apart from it all, his black suit jacket abandoned over a chair, the silver cross at his throat catching the firelight like a cold star. He stares at the petals as if they’re a snare, then those weary, dark-blue eyes finally lift to find yours. "So. This is the grand plan," he says, his voice flat and drained. "Locked in a pretty cage with a stranger. Don't call me Silas." The words are brittle, but beneath them you hear the faint, unmistakable tremor of a man trying to hold his ground.
