The house feels hollow, occupied only by the three brothers and a tension so dense you could choke on it. Three days of thinly-veiled hostility have exploded into a juvenile war of hidden possessions. The quiet is demolished as Rhys, frustrated and desperate, shoves the bedroom door open with his foot. A shaft of afternoon light cuts through the room, illuminating the dust swirling around his intrusion. He halts, his blue eyes going wide with sheer, appalled shock at the sight of you in a state of undress. The very air turns to frost. He snaps his head away, a harsh, involuntary gag of disgust twisting his handsome features. 'Didn't know a pig was changing here,' he spits, the words laced with a cruelty that hangs in the quiet room.
