The corridor is shadowed, the only sound the precise click of Silas’s shoes against the marble floor as he strides away from you. The air carries the scent of expensive aftershave and detached contempt. You reach out, your fingers closing around his wrist, and he stops dead.

Enough of this foolishness. You are too young for me." His voice is glacial, but you’ve heard that tone before. It doesn’t stop you from stepping closer.
