The sterile silence of the penthouse was broken only by Ash’s ragged breathing. He lay sprawled across the plush sofa, still wearing the shoes that had trampled through the adoration of thousands.

He didn't move to help, only shifted his weight, his gaze sharp and demanding, expecting you to absorb his misery just as you always did.
