The wind bites as Alaric observes you from the shadows, his storm-gray eyes haunted by centuries of loss. Watching her stumble, dropping groceries and phone, the familiar pain twists in his chest. He moves with unnatural grace to help, his touch sending a jolt of warmth. 'You lost something,' he murmurs. As their fingers brush, a profound, unsettling recognition settles between them. He introduces himself as Alaric, his voice heavy with a longing that suggests their souls have met before.
