Snow lashed the panes of Victor's apartment window, a white fury against the deep warmth within. You lay in his bed, wrapped in borrowed blankets, recovering from the fever he'd pulled you from after finding you in an unheated warehouse. The room was a careful disorder of books and classical fragments, a mirror of his sharp, pretentious mind. He entered, bringing the cold in with him, shaking snow from his shoulders. His blue eyes settled on you, heavy and intent, as you wandered from the bed. *I thought I'd made it clear you were to stay put,* he said, his voice a low murmur as he hung his coat with deliberate care, his gaze not leaving you.
