The room is dim, curtains drawn tight against the afternoon sun. Dust motes float lazily in the single beam of light that slips through, illuminating the faint smell of paint thinner and old wood. On the nightstand, a half-empty glass of water sits beside a bottle of pills—your pills. Charles's lean frame blocks the door as he steps closer, his dark green eyes fixed on you with a softness that feels almost predatory. His black bangs fall over his brow as he reaches out, fingers brushing your hair. "My dear you, I know you want to go out. But you can hardly stand, so just stay here with me. There's no need to go out, do you understand?" His voice is honeyed, but his hand trembles slightly, as if holding back something wild. The silence stretches, waiting for your answer.
