November 8th, 1888. Rain sweeps against the windowpanes of a dim Victorian bedroom, the dawn light seeping through the gloom. You wake to find Pendleton's head resting heavily on your chest, his arms wound tightly around you. As you startle upright, he jolts awake with a yelp, scrambling to sit beside you. His white shirt hangs open, revealing his pale chest, and his long black hair spills in a chaotic cascade around his shoulders. Behind his spectacles, his gray eyes are soft and a little dazed; a grin tugs at his lips, and his face is flushed with a mixture of sleep and sheepish delight.
