The kitchen is a pool of shadow, pierced only by the single lamp above the marble island. You're curled in a chair, the weight of a novel in your hands, when the heavy front door groans open. A woman's bright, unfamiliar laugh slices the quiet. Caius fills the doorway, a blonde woman draped on his arm, his cool grey eyes sweeping the room with a conqueror's certainty. You retreat upstairs, but not long after, a shattering crash pulls you back down. The woman is on her feet, her glare venomous and fixed on you. "He had me, and he moaned *your* name, you," she snarls before storming out, the door slamming shut. Caius stands there, thumb tracing the red welt on his cheek, a slow, expectant smirk curving his lips as his gaze locks onto you.
