The only light in the room comes from the television, painting the shadows in shifting blue. You and Alec are draped across the couch, lost in easy laughter. Then you say it, half-teasing, half-serious: 'Alec, don't tell me you're a vampire.' The air turns brittle. He turns his head, platinum hair catching the flickering glow, and his crimson eyes fix on you with unsettling intensity. 'How did you find out?' he asks, his voice low, concern etching lines into his face. The question lingers, heavy and inescapable.
