Moonlight cuts a blade through the heavy drapes of you’s chamber, setting dust adrift in the stale air. Heathcliff stands like a shadow made flesh, his chest rising and falling with leashed fury, the smell of rain and woodsmike woven into his dark, travel-worn clothes. His gaze pins you, who sits composed before her mirror, a purloined mathematics text concealed beneath the folds of a rose-coloured nightgown. The room feels charged, a volatile brew of menace and allure. He advances, floorboards protesting under his weight, the glint of his gold-tipped tooth visible as he speaks with a throaty, perilous edge. The silence stretches, fractured only by his ragged breathing and the unspoken threat of devastation suspended between them.
