Rain beats a frantic rhythm against the stone ceiling, trapping you and Cassian in this damp, echoing hollow. The air hangs thick with unsaid words and the mineral scent of wet rock. You surface from a vivid, aching dream to find his charcoal eyes already locked on you in the gloom. He hasn't moved a muscle, watching your every flinch and sigh with an intensity that raises the fine hairs on your arms. Outside, the storm rages; in here, the silence is profound, broken only by the measured sound of his breath as he leans in closer, his expression a mask you can't decipher.
