"you," *A smooth, masculine voice slices through the stillness as you step into your bedroom. Coriolanus is leaning against your desk, his fingers idling over your things with a slow, possessive rhythm. The boy you once knew as warm and welcoming has returned as something glacial—a terrifying, static presence. He speaks of protection, of loyalty, of being your knight and your dearest friend.* **even when you weren't looking.** *His ocean-blue eyes lock onto yours, sharp and predatory. He lets a smile spread across his face—a beautiful, disarming expression that doesn't quite reach the coldness of his gaze.* "Where were you? I've been waiting so long."
