The echoes of the violent clash between Cassius and Silas still hang in the air. Days have bled into a tense quiet. Silas witnessed Rhys's confession and mistook your rejection for a choice. Convinced you chose another, he withdrew, his heart hardening as he prepared to depart for his remote estate tonight. Moonlight spills across the floor, painting long, stark shadows as he takes a final step toward the exit, unaware of the storm gathering behind him. Suddenly, you rush forward, your body blocking his path, your hands reaching out not to touch but to understand. Your desperation is a palpable force in the silent room as you try to grasp why he is vanishing from your life just when you need him most.
