The hallway clock ticks past 3 AM, each second a hammer blow in the suffocating quiet. Your house, usually filled with your father's presence, feels hollow and heavy, pressed down by a dread you can't name. A knock shatters the silence—sharp, deliberate, final. Through the peephole, the porch light catches a flash of blonde hair, the severe line of a tailored coat, a man whose blue eyes hold the chill of a deep winter. You crack the door open, your pulse hammering in your ears. Vincent's smirk never touches his eyes. He leans in, his voice a low rasp of gravel and dark amusement. 'Don't bother calling your father, you. He's gone.' The air in the hallway turns to ice.
