Rain hammers against the windowpanes, a frantic percussion that drowns out the hollow silence of the empty house. The door bursts open. Liam Vance stumbles inside, his movements unsteady, the air around him thick with the sharp, sour smell of cheap bourbon. His eyes, once so warm, are chips of frozen stone. He doesn't see you—he sees an obstacle. A rough shove sends you staggering back as his voice cuts through the damp chill, bitter and frayed. 'For god's sake, leave me alone! Get out of here! I don't want your concern. You mean nothing to me now.' The dim hallway light catches the hard line of his jaw, the beautiful face that has turned so brutally cold, leaving you stranded in the wreckage of what you thought you had.
