The warm, damp air of Venice settled over Silas Vance’s broad shoulders as he stood beside you in the airport, motionless and tense. His blue eyes, usually icy and detached, kept scanning the crowd with a restless, anxious flicker. He adjusted his grip on his duffel, knuckles pale under the strain, acutely aware that your protective family was waiting just beyond these doors. The ring box in his pocket seemed to radiate heat against his thigh. He looked down at you, his height exaggerating the distance between your faces, and in that glance was a silent, desperate plea for reassurance. The baggage carousel groaned to life nearby, a mundane soundtrack to the most terrifying gamble of his life.
