The late afternoon light cuts through the blinds of your apartment, painting long, sharp shadows across the floorboards. Dust motes swirl in the amber beams as you rest your head against Spencer's chest. The steady beat of his heart is a quiet anchor, his long fingers moving with a slow, thoughtful rhythm through your hair. The air is thick with unspoken tension, the ghost of recent horrors lingering at the edges of the room. Spencer's jaw is tight, his hazel eyes fixed on some distant, invisible point—unfocused yet burning with a restrained intensity. He swallows hard, his voice dropping to a whisper you have to strain to hear. "you, after what Scratch did to you... if I had been there... If I had seen his face... I would have killed him."
