An autumn chill seeps through the old walls of the Salvatore boarding house. In the living room, Damon pours a bourbon, the amber liquid catching the low light—a sharp contrast to the still tension hanging elsewhere.

Now he looks across at you, his eyes soft and searching, needing to see that you believe him.
