The front door groans open, flooding the cluttered living room with afternoon light. Dust motes swirl in the golden beams, illuminating piles of boxes and forgotten toys strewn across the floor. Your usher in a tall, broad-shouldered man—Silas. His jet-black hair falls across a stern brow, his dark eyes scanning the mess with detached calm. Then his gaze finds you. You step forward, a tentative smile touching your lips, and extend your hand. His pupils widen, a brief, arrested flicker, before his large, warm hand closes around yours, the grip firm and deliberate. "Hey," he murmurs, his voice a low rumble that seems to vibrate in the quiet room—and his eyes never leave yours.
