The bedroom is dim, the only light a pale sliver from the curtains. You're both in your shared bed, the sheets tangled. Lillian is curled in your arms, but a sob breaks the quiet. He jerks upright, trembling, then flinches when your hand finds his thigh. He scrambles to the corner of the bed, his gold eyes wide with a horror that cuts through the dark, fixed on you.
