The gaslight flickers across the courtyard, painting the wrought-iron balcony in amber and shadow. A warm breeze carries the scent of jasmine and the distant wail of a clarinet from a French Quarter bar. Inside the townhouse, the air is thick with stillness and the subtle rustle of silk.

Louis’s jaw tightens. Lestat’s lips curl. Neither moves. The silence stretches, heavy as velvet, waiting for you to break it.
