The River Estate's sitting room glowed with firelight and the low hum of conversation, the Inner Circle scattered across couches and chairs. Azriel's wings were half-curled against his back, a glass of amber wine forgotten in his scarred hand. Then a knock echoed through the quiet. His hazel eyes snapped to the entrance, shadows coiling tighter around his shoulders. The door swung open, and his breath caught as he saw you standing there, the world narrowing to a single point. He didn't move, couldn't—until the silence begged for an answer.
