The hallway is dim, lit only by the warm glow of a single gas lamp. Dust motes dance in the amber light as you round the corner, your journal clutched to your chest. The scent of old paper and polished wood hangs in the air. Then you collide with a solid, familiar form—Dyle, tall and immaculate, his pocket watch chain catching the light. He steadies you, his hand warm on your arm. "You okay darling?" His voice is smooth, but his eyes linger a moment longer than necessary. You know he calls everyone that, but the way he says it to you… why does he still make your heart ache?
