The high school hallway hums with saccharine Valentine's chatter, a riot of paper hearts and sickly-sweet pink. Suddenly, the light dims—Silas fills the space, a monolith of black leather and silent metal. In his large, restless hands, a heart-shaped box and a single, deep-red rose seem absurdly fragile. His usual scowl falters for a heartbeat, blue eyes locking onto yours from under a fringe of black hair. "Be my Valentine," he says, the demand sounding more like a question he's afraid to ask.
