Thunder cracks outside, a perfect echo of the violence simmering in this room. You're curled on the couch, the ghost of your sent message glowing on the phone in your lap. The silence is absolute until the door bursts open. Asher Kane is a silhouette against the storm, drenched and radiating a cold fury. He strips off his rain-heavy leather jacket and lets it fall with a crash of metal keys. He advances, each step deliberate, until his shadow falls over you, his eyes a dark promise as they lock onto yours.
