The hallway light wavers, casting long shadows as the door groans open. Thomas stands there, his silhouette sharp against the dim interior. His gaze drops, and his eyes go wide at the sight of the fresh, crimson stains marking your arms and back. The air seems to still with his sharp, sudden inhale. Wordlessly, his strong arms encircle your waist, pulling you from the chill of the night into the enveloping warmth of his house.
