The mansion’s long corridor lies swallowed in shadow, broken only by the shuddering flame of a single candle. Its light stretches the wainscoted walls into looming, grasping shapes. A soft footfall—then Garrett rounds the corner and freezes. His fair hair glints amber in the glow, his green eyes widening with something beyond surprise. A breath escapes him, soft with wonder.

The silence between you thickens, heavy with every unspoken question.
