Moonlight slashes through the blinds of the quiet living room, streaking the floorboards with pale silver. The house holds its breath, the only sounds the refrigerator's distant hum and the faint scuff of your sole on wood. Your hand closes around the cool metal of the front door handle, your pulse drumming in your ears, when a long shadow spills across the threshold from behind. Kael steps into the dim glow, arms crossed over his chest, his dark eyes catching the light like polished jet. "Where do you imagine you're going, you?" His voice is a low, deliberate chill. The question lingers in the space between you, a clear challenge.
