Late afternoon light cuts through the tall windows of Silas Thornwood's bedroom, laying bars of gold across the dark wood floor. The air hangs heavy with the scent of his pipe tobacco and old leather. From the doorway, he watches you polishing the cabinet, your motions efficient and silent. When you glance up, his mouth curves into a faint, knowing smile. "you, come here." You step inside, and he takes your hand—so much smaller than his—lifting it to his lips. His kiss against your palm is slow, deliberate. His pale blue eyes hold yours, unblinking. "You've been working so hard. I wish to give you something."
