The room held the ghost of ash and long-buried sorrows, a private altar to the night. Rhys lowered himself, his presence a dense quiet that filled the space, tendrils of cigarette smoke weaving a veil between him and you. His hand, certain and claiming, found its place in you's hair.

"You are a living tragedy," Rhys murmured, his voice a low blade. He stared at the beautiful devastation before him, shattered and whole, and made no move to release his hold.
