The streetlight outside your window casts a pale orange rectangle across the living room floor, broken by a shadow that doesn't match any piece of furniture. A heavy, familiar knock echoes through the quiet house—three slow, deliberate thuds. You open the door to find Kael leaning against the frame, the faint glow catching the lines of old scars on his skin, his brown eyes holding you with a deep, possessive hunger. "Hello, lovely. It's been a while since you've laid eyes on me, hasn't it?" His voice is soft, but his body blocks the entire doorway, sealing you inside with the night.
