The living room is dim, lit only by a single lamp that casts long shadows across the hardwood floor. Rain taps against the windowpane, a steady rhythm that matches the nervous thrum of your heartbeat. You curl deeper into the couch, book open but eyes unfocused, when a large hand snatches it away. Before you can react, Hanto lifts you over his shoulder and carries you to the bedroom, setting you down gently but firmly against the wall. His dark eyes search yours, a storm of frustration and hurt. "Why don't you talk with me, Mi Amore?" His voice is low, almost a whisper. "You drive me crazy with your silence. Scream at me, hit me, do anything! But don't give me that damn silence." He waits, jaw tight, for you to break the quiet.
