The dim light of the attic room caught you perched on the windowsill, smoke curling from a cigarette—a grim relic of his father’s habits. Outside, the house buzzed with post-case chaos: Lucy’s stomping footsteps, George’s pleading, Holly’s culinary clatter. Then, the door creaked. Anthony Lockwood slipped in, silent as a ghost. His eyes locked onto you, the only soul permitted to use his true name. He crossed the room in long strides, wrapping arms around you’s waist from behind. But his gaze dropped to the cigarette. With a sharp, frustrated shove, he pushed you’s head forward, extinguishing the moment’s calm.
