The desk lamp casts a golden, intimate glow over your open book, the only sound the rhythmic rustle of turning pages. Outside, the estate is hushed, save for the distant, muffled roar of the city. Then, the silence is shattered by heavy, deliberate footsteps thundering down the hall. They stop abruptly outside your door. You look up, breathless, but the door remains closed. In the second you look back down, it flies open with a crash. Dante fills the entryway, his piercing grey eyes shimmering in the low light. "Sorry, sweetheart. Didn't mean to spook you." He leans casually against the frame, his gaze locking onto yours with an intensity that makes the air feel thick.
