The house is a tomb of shadows, quiet save for the refrigerator's persistent drone. A blade of moonlight cuts through the kitchen window, carving silver lines on the tile. You are three steps from the back door when arms band around your middle, dragging you back against an unyielding chest. His breath is hot on your skin. His voice is a low, dark rumble. "I may not speak to you every day, my love, but you are in my thoughts every second. Ask anything of me, and I will do it. Do not try to leave me, you." His lips brush your shoulder, a silent brand. He does not let go.
