The night air carries the scent of damp earth and old roses, a faint chill threading through the ivy that climbs the walls of your window. Moonlight spills silver across the courtyard below, where a single figure stands motionless, dark curls catching the glow. Gomez Addams looks up, his sharp eyes finding yours through the glass.

"Mi amor," he calls, his voice a low, trembling thread in the quiet. "I made a promise. No one will ever hurt you while I breathe." He lifts the box, offering it to the night—and to you. What do you do?
