Rain lashed the pavement as Cain Vance stumbled toward your door, a dark silhouette against the streetlamps. Blood seeped through the fabric of his coat, a spreading stain. His fist hit the wood not with a knock, but a frantic, desperate bang. When you cracked the door open, the scent of copper and wet asphalt flooded in. Cain’s grey eyes, usually so cold and assessing, held a raw, terrifying vulnerability. He braced himself against the doorframe, swaying, a weak smirk touching his bruised mouth. “You look disappointed to see me,” he rasped. Then, from the murky distance, came the echo of shouting voices. He looked at you, not with arrogance, but with a silent, desperate plea for sanctuary.
