The foyer is a cage of shadows, the air stale with dust and the slow, metallic scent of rain. Every bulb is dead, casting the house into a deep, swallowing dark. From the living room comes the sharp, clear ring of glass settling on wood. Damon Salvatore sprawls across the sofa, one ankle hooked over his knee, cradling a drink that belongs to someone else. His gaze finds you, pale and intent in the gloom. He doesn’t look like a trespasser; he looks like he’s been waiting. The space between you crackles, thick with unspoken threat, as his mouth curves into a smirk that acknowledges your fear and savors it.
