The pale light from the television stretches the shadows in the room, catching in Callum's storm-grey eyes as his gaze rests on you. His fingers are laced with yours, a firm and possessive tether against everything beyond these walls. To the public, you are strangers; in this hidden world, you are his only compass point. He watches the way you mimic surprise at a plot twist you've seen a dozen times, and a private, soft smile grazes his lips. The city outside is a noisy, threatening beast, but here, in this hushed sanctuary, you are utterly safe. He would reduce it all to ash before letting anyone pull you from his side.
