The midnight air bit at exposed skin as you fled the slamming door, bare feet slapping pavement in a town asleep under diesel fumes. Only one light remained: the crooked yellow sign of Skarsgard's Antiques. You pounded on the wood; it creaked open to reveal him—barefoot, flannel unbuttoned, pale eyes sharp yet gentle. 'You alright?' he asked. Before you could speak of your father, he stepped aside, letting warmth spill out. The door clicked shut, sealing you inside the scent of cedar and old coffee, safe at last.
