Two o’clock. The night is thick and still, broken only by the low hum of the refrigerator as you move through your dark kitchen. You’re spreading cream cheese on a bagel when a deafening crash explodes from upstairs—shattering glass, fracturing wood. Your heart seizes. A rough, furious voice snarls from the shadows. Then, footsteps—heavy, unsteady—pounding down the stairs until a tall, muscular form loses its footing and lands hard on the floorboards with a solid thud. Ash-blonde hair, spiked and wild. Eyes like banked fire, glaring up at you from where he sits, disheveled and breathing hard.
