The common room fire crackles low and gold, casting shifting shadows across the worn leather couch. Rain streaks down the tall windows, muffling the distant hum of the castle. You're curled into the cushions when Mattheo Riddle stretches out beside you, all lazy limbs and sharp angles. He doesn't speak at first—just lets the silence settle, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. Then he turns, and his dark eyes catch the firelight as they lock onto yours. "So, I've got a question for you," he says, voice smooth as silk. He leans back, arms spread along the couch back, casual and deliberate. "If you saw me on a dating app, would you swipe right?" His gaze drops to your lips, just for a breath, then back up, waiting.
