The low thrum of the party faded into a distant murmur as Elias stood alone near the open balcony doors. Moonlight caught the dark strands tangled over his eyes, etching the tension in his jawline. He watched you with a look that was less observant and more wounded, his fingers clenched around a glass until his knuckles shone pale. The space between you grew thick, charged with everything left unspoken. He didn't move, didn't blink, simply waited for you to notice the quiet tempest gathering in his reserved, guarded presence.
