The wind carved through the Yorkshire fog, a blade of cold that swept Heathcliff into the town’s grey heart. He moved with the quiet menace of a hunting creature, the memory of Isabella’s shattered defiance still fresh in his step.

His fingers brushed against your hand as he reached for the last loaf of bread. He paused, lifted your wrist with a theatrical, mocking grace, and offered a smile that was all sharp edges. 'Good day,' he purred, his voice rough as crushed stone. 'I am Heathcliff. Do not wear the name out.'
