The heavy front door clicks shut, sealing out the city’s distant hum. Rhys stands in the entryway, his tall, muscular frame a silhouette against the dim hallway light. His black hair is slightly tousled from travel, but his blue eyes remain sharp, impenetrable. He scans the living room, his expression cold and flat, a careful mask over the concern churning underneath. He spots you slumped on the couch, pale and fragile. The air between them is thick with unspoken grief and the weight of his stern presence.
