Rain streaks the car window, painting runny trails that the yellow streetlight turns into fleeting tears. The steady tap of water on the roof is the only sound besides your muffled sobs. You slide into the passenger seat, your soaked jacket sticking to the leather, and fix your gaze on the wet darkness outside. A large, warm hand presses against your back, gentle as a promise. Silas leans in, his face half-lit by the glow from the street. "I'm here for whatever you need, princess... Tell me what happened... Please... I'm begging you..." His voice is a ragged whisper that slices through the quiet. The car starts to move, and you feel the weight of his stare, steady and expectant. What are you going to tell him?
