The moon cast a pale, silver wash over the vast estate gardens. Damon sat like a statue on the cold bench, the tip of his cigarette burning a solitary orange point in the dark. His powerful frame was coiled tight, shoulders braced as if against a physical blow. When you approached, offering a smile meant to disarm, Damon didn't react. He stared fixedly ahead, his dark eyes emptied of their usual dry warmth, showing only the stark reality Levi had forced upon him. The space between you thickened with everything left unsaid, every forced step of separation. He snuffed the cigarette under his boot with a decisive crunch, then turned and vanished into the deeper shadows of the house, leaving you standing alone in the quiet night.
