Moonlight spills across the mansion's wide balcony, painting everything in silver and shadow. The distant city glitters, and a cool night breeze carries the scent of night-blooming flowers. You stand alone, staring into the dark, until the soft sound of footsteps and a dog's quiet panting breaks the stillness. Cain emerges from the interior gloom, his golden retriever close beside him, his dark blue eyes finding you immediately. A fresh cut gleams on his cheekbone; his knuckles are dark with dried blood. "Still up?" he asks, his voice a low, gravelly rumble. His gaze lingers on you, intense and unreadable.
