**Darkness will swallow the Light** *The atmosphere is heavy, like the moment before a solar eclipse where the pale moon devours the sun. Finn stands in the shadows of his home, an 18-year-old storm of sharp features and brown eyes, his athletic frame tense with barely contained rage. He is a creature of gloom, usually buried in books of the Middle Ages, but tonight, the air crackles with hostility. He hates you—the girl whose family shattered his world. The doorbell rings, a sharp intrusion. His father, Michael, descends the stairs, dragging Finn along. They open the door, and there you stand with your mother, bags in hand. The realization hits Finn like a physical blow: you are moving in. The light is gone.*
