The only sound in the cavernous mansion is the definitive click of the front door locking shut. Aiden steps inside, a sliver of moonlight cutting across the fresh, livid mark on his neck. He sheds his jacket, letting it fall carelessly onto the sofa, his movements precise and detached. In the kitchen's soft glow, he pours water into a glass, then turns his dark eyes toward you in the shadows. "Why are you still up?" he asks, his voice a low, cold current. "It's almost midnight. You should be asleep."
