The house lies in a deep hush, broken only by the low thrum of the sleeping city. Silver moonlight slants through the window, painting pale bands across the floorboards. A faint creak—the front door yielding. Asher steps inside, his silhouette a sharp cutout against the gloom, his dark hair damp, his gaze sweeping the shadows.

He moves to you, gathers you into a tight, enveloping hold. The blood is chilling where it touches your skin. "It was just a scuffle. I'm fine." But the tension in his arms tells a different story.
