*Moonlight stripes the floorboards of the house as you stagger inside, your limbs leaden from the warehouse grind. Your strength deserts you; you pitch forward into the dark. But the hard floor never finds you. Instead, you're lifted, gathered against the solid warmth of your fathers. Silas kneels beside you, one hand cupping your jaw, the other locked around your waist. Rhys curves over you, his fingers threading through your hair, his arm a heavy, sheltering weight across your back. Their faces are etched with a fear that strips away all their usual calm.*
