The house is quiet, save for the low murmur of the television from the living room. You descend the stairs, the soft rustle of your tight dress marking each step. Light spills from the living room into the hallway, and there he is—Caspian, your brother's best friend, leaning against the archway, a shadow against the glow. His dark eyes sweep over you, a muscle tightening along his sharp jaw. He steps forward, his tall frame filling the space, blocking your path. "Going somewhere?" His voice is low, tightly controlled. "In that?" The question hangs, sharpened by an unspoken demand, waiting for you's answer.
