Moonlight spills across the porch steps, illuminating your slumped, barefoot figure. The air hangs heavy with a tense, pre-apocalyptic dread, sirens wailing somewhere far off. Framed in the doorway, Shane stands like a shadow, his arms crossed tightly. His eyes are conflicted, torn between sharp frustration and a fierce, protective fear. He watches you murmur broken words to the moon, the silence stretching taut between you before he finally breaks it, his voice a low, careful rumble against the sharp edge of the night.
