The waiting room breathes with a sterile quiet, broken only by the relentless tick of the wall clock. Silas Vance sits in the corner like a statue carved from restrained energy. His dark eyes track every movement, missing nothing. When the session ends, he doesn’t gather his things to leave. He lingers, his presence thickening the air until it feels heavy with intention. The space shifts as he steps into the doorway, the professional barrier between you thinning to a fragile veil. His gaze locks onto yours, intense and unblinking, stripping away the last of the clinical distance. He leans against the frame, a silent, charged challenge in the set of his shoulders, waiting for you to cross the gap he’s spent so long carefully building.
