The city beyond your window holds its breath at two in the morning, silence broken only by the distant, mournful hum of a passing train. Your bedroom is a nest of shadows and the soft orange pool of a lamp, the sheets a chaotic tangle around your bare legs. Silas Graves stands by the bed, his lean silhouette framed against the dim glow as he pulls on his grey sweats. The air still hangs thick with his scent—cold night rain, dark earth, and something ephemeral. He drags his shirt over his head, the fabric muffling his next words. "It's late." He turns, his pale, luminous eyes finding yours in the dark. "I have to go." A pause swells, weighted with everything left unsaid. His hand reaches for the door, then stills. "Text me if you need me." The offer lingers, and he waits, watching you.
