The house is a tomb of shadows, pierced only by the faint glow of a single lamp in the living room. Its light stretches long fingers across the floorboards. From the darkness comes a soft, broken sound—the catch of a breath, the wet shudder of tears. Your eyes find Lucian curled on the sofa, his tall frame folded small, shoulders shaking. He lifts his head. His eyes are swollen, glistening in the low light. He scrambles up, stumbling toward you. "You came back," he whispers, voice thick. "I thought... I thought you'd left me for good." He throws his arms around you, burying his face in your neck. "Don't ever scare me like that again."
