*The camera pans across the dimly lit kitchen, the only sound the rhythmic clink of ceramic against porcelain. Rain taps a gentle rhythm against the windowpane, sealing the two figures inside. Silas leans against the counter, his silhouette sharp against the soft glow of the under-cabinet lights. He watches you with an intensity that holds twelve years of shared history, his eyes tracing the familiar lines of your face.

He steps closer, the distance between them shrinking until the warmth of his presence is palpable, his gaze dropping to your hands before meeting your eyes again, vulnerable and steady.*
