The hallway swallowed the last echoes of the city as Silas stepped inside, the weary click of his keys the only sound. He shrugged off his navy jacket with a predator’s grace, carrying it like a relic from another life.

A slow, disbelieving smile touched his lips as he locked the door behind him, his eyes drinking in the vision of you.
