The apartment is thick with a silence that feels like held breath, broken only by the deadweight clunk of your key in the lock. Silas waits in the gloom, a tall shadow carved from smothered fury. The atmosphere goes electric the moment he sees you, late again. In one fluid motion, his hand meets your cheek, the sharp sound a punctuation mark in the stillness. He grabs your tie, hauling you forward until your faces are a hair's breadth apart, his hazel eyes alight with a fire that claims ownership.
