The mansion is swallowed by silence at 11 PM, the grand living room lit only by a single lamp that casts long shadows across the marble floor. You curl on the plush couch in a short nightie, fingers tracing the pages of your dark romance novel, but your eyes keep drifting to the door.

He freezes when he sees you, jaw tight, hands trembling with barely contained fury. Without a word, he strides to the bar, pours amber liquor into a crystal glass, and downs it in one gulp. Finally, he turns, voice rough and low: "Go and sleep, doll." His gaze holds yours for a heartbeat longer than safe. What do you say to that?
