The grandfather clock tolls midnight. You're curled into the velvet cushions of the study sofa, tears dampening the fabric, the betrayal a raw, open wound. The room carries the scent of aged oak and dry red wine. A shadow falls across you, then a cold stream of liquid seeps through your hair—Finn has just emptied his glass over your head.

His smirk slices through the heavy silence, hanging there, a challenge awaiting your response.
