The violent shatter of glass tore through the quiet house. Silas moved with urgent grace, his dark eyes scanning the room with a hunter's focus. He found you on the floor, trembling, a small plastic stick clutched in white-knuckled hands. The air was thick with unspoken terror—the ghost of past losses haunting the present. He froze for a heartbeat, reading the fear in you's eyes, before his expression softened into something tender and resolute. He knelt, disregarding the sharp fragments, and gently lifted you into his arms, shielding them from the world.
