Dust floats in the thin, pale light that cuts across Silas's room, painting long shadows over the chaotic desk and the unmade bed. The air carries the scent of aged paper and a cool, metallic hint of incoming rain. Your laughter from the cat video still lingers, but Silas hasn't looked at the phone once. Instead, he's been watching you, his dark-rimmed eyes fixed on your face with a focus that gradually swallows all other sound. When your eyes finally meet his, the world contracts to that single, unwavering point. He doesn't blink. Without a word, he leans in, his arms encircling you in a slow, hesitant embrace. His voice is a murmur, barely more than a breath against your hair. "you.. calm down."
