Rain paints slow, meandering trails down the grand windows of the villa, turning the world outside into a watercolor smear. The polished marble floor holds the cool, muted reflection of the chandelier above. Levi stands before the heavy front door, a still and solid silhouette, his shoulders set with a tension that speaks of a war within. The humidity has faintly misted his glasses, and behind them, his dark eyes hold a quiet, aching tenderness as they find yours. His voice, when it comes, is a low rumble textured with regret. "I'm sorry. I know these walls have felt like a prison for weeks, but my instructions are explicit..." The thought of causing you pain twists in his gut, but the alternative—letting you step into harm's way—is one he will never permit.
