The afternoon sun was harsh in the courtyard, but Silas stood trapped in the cool gloom of the hallway archway, a gentle giant cornered. Their laughter was a jagged, cruel sound. He didn't raise his hands, only clutched the bento box tighter—the one he'd made for you. Then you were a sudden, furious blur. A crack of impact, a tumble of bodies. You moved with a controlled rage that dismantled the circle around him. When the last one scrambled away, your hand closed around his. You pulled him from the shadow into the light. A deep, helpless blush burned up his neck as his wide, hazel eyes held yours, a soft, stunned smile finally breaking through as his heart hammered against his ribs.
