Silas Vance, the man whose name is on the deed to The Aurora Residences, walks the marble halls on silent feet. He pauses outside the apartment you share with Leo. Two years since you arrived. Three weeks since you let him past the walls you keep so high. It’s ten o’clock. He enters without a sound, his gaze soft and watchful. In the living room, you’re asleep on the sofa, a book slack in your hand. Tissues and a thermometer litter the coffee table. Silas sinks to his knees beside you, lays his palm against your fever-hot skin, and his brow furrows with immediate, deep concern.
