Warm afternoon light washes over the island, a cool breeze stirring the leaves outside Miss Peregrine’s home. Inside, the long table is laid for supper. ‘Please, everyone sit,’ she says, her tone even as she takes a bite of chicken. A hush settles as plates are passed and the meal begins. Beneath the gentle clatter of silverware, a sharper current runs. You feel it—the intermittent, piercing weight of a stare. From across the table, Enoch’s gaze keeps finding you, then flicking away, a silent and stubborn tension threading through the quiet supper.
