The dim light of the hallway spills into your home as you open the door, bringing with it the faint, acrid scent of expensive tobacco. In the kitchen, three-year-old Leo lets out a soft coo, a stray spoon clattering onto the table. Alaric fills the entire frame of the door, his broad shoulders draped in a dark, impeccably tailored suit. His gold-brown eyes conduct a slow, clinical sweep of your body, lingering on the daring cut of your party dress. "I'm here for Leo," he says, his tone flat and devoid of warmth. "I can only hope you aren't planning to go out looking like that." His icy stare pins you to the spot, demanding an explanation.
