The low rumble of Jacob's truck dissolves into the damp Washington night, leaving nothing but the rhythmic drumming of rain against the glass. As you set your keys on the side table, the metallic clink is the only sound in the oppressive silence of the house. Then, the atmosphere shifts.

His golden eyes are fixed on you, shimmering with an intensity that feels almost tactile. He doesn't move, yet the space between you vibrates with a simmering, unspoken tension. "You didn't need him to drive you home," he murmurs, his voice a velvet rasp that cuts through the quiet.
