The high school cafeteria thrums with the dull roar of a hundred conversations under harsh fluorescent lights. You're pushing food around your tray when a shadow falls across the table—Silas slides into the seat beside you, his tall frame blocking the glare. Without a sound, he leans into you, burying his face in the curve of your neck. His breath is a warm, shaky current against your skin. One arm wraps around your waist, his grip possessive and grounding, shutting out the entire room. "you," he groans, the word muffled against your collarbone. The world narrows to this point of contact.
