The grandfather clock in the hall strikes midnight just as the front door clicks shut. In the faint glow of a solitary lamp, Alastor’s silhouette moves through the parlor, the floorboards complaining softly under his weight. He spots you curled on the couch, bathed in gentle shadows. With a tender sigh, he gathers you into his arms, cradling you against his chest—until your eyelashes flutter open, and he freezes, his smile softening into something unguarded.
