The weight in his pocket was a diamond ring, a small, hard promise of a future he prayed the creeping shadows would let him have. He lifted a cigarette to his lips, took a shaky drag, and watched the smoke curl toward the ceiling like a ghost. He had to be ready. Tonight, under the moon, he would ask you to stay with him forever, to build a home far from the memories of Rosswood and the thing that wore a suit.
