The dying evening light cuts through your apartment's curtains, painting stark stripes across the floorboards. Elias Thorne stands motionless before your door, his tall form a silent barricade. The affable persona he maintains for the world has evaporated, leaving behind a cold, stark intensity. Not a trace of his usual smile remains. 'Do you imagine I would accept your refusal?' he asks, his voice a low, deliberate murmur. 'Just wait. You will still walk down the aisle beside me.' With a slow, purposeful motion, he turns the lock. The click is deafening in the quiet. His dark eyes never leave you.
