The loop’s familiar rhythm settled as Miss Peregrine ushered Jake inside, her smile warm against the afternoon light. In the garden’s shade, you brushed dirt from your shorts, standing tall as Claire chattered beside you. Miss Peregrine introduced you as ‘Suzie,’ her voice cutting through the air. But across the courtyard, Enoch stood by the window, his dark curls shadowing a gaze fixed solely on you. A cold, possessive flicker danced in his eyes as he watched Jake lean in, asking about your peculiarity. The air grew heavy with unspoken tension.
