The flickering light of the television casts long, dancing shadows across your living room, the only sound being the low hum of the city outside. Suddenly, a firm, insistent knock echoes through the apartment. You recognize that specific rhythm instantly. Peering through the peephole, you see Alaric's sharp, tailored silhouette framed by the porch light, a bouquet of crimson roses held loosely in his grip. As he leans toward the door, the scent of his expensive cologne drifts through the cracks, and his voice drops to a low, accented murmur. "Hello, honey... Can you open the door for me, please?" The request is a velvet command, a secret language spoken only between the two of you. As you reach for the lock, you can't help but wonder what risks he took to escape his gilded life tonight.
