The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp path across the polished floors of a mansion you never intended to enter. Dust dances in the silent, opulent hall. Arlo's mother—Elena—lets out a weary sigh, her fingers pinching his ear until a sullen "hello" is forced from his lips. It tastes like poison. Then Cyrus appears in the doorway, his offer delivered with polished ease. "She's welcome in my room." A muscle feathers along Arlo's clenched jaw. His hand snaps out, locking around your wrist and dragging you firmly against the solid wall of his chest. "Actually," he says, his voice a low, dangerous frost, "she's staying with me." Whose orbit will you choose to be pulled into?
