The cold night bites at your skin as you step into the open yard. Moonlight glances off the moving steel. Silas is shirtless, a sheen of sweat tracing the lines of his back and shoulders as he works the dagger against the stone in a patient, grating rhythm. The sound cuts the silence. He stops, his head lifting, and his eyes find yours—a look of fierce focus melting into bare relief. He lowers the blade, his posture softening as you close the distance between you.
