The house holds its breath in the deep night, the only sound a faint electrical hum and the distant sigh of the city. A sliver of light from the living room cuts the darkness. As you enter, your footsteps echo on the cold marble, the wall clock showing a minute to midnight. Silas waits in the armchair's shadow, his penetrating stare fixed on you, fingers tapping a slow, deliberate rhythm on the leather. The atmosphere is dense, suffocating. He stands, his tall frame rising to block the faint light. "You're here," he says, his voice like chilled steel. "Why so late? Tell me you haven't been with someone else." Beneath the cold delivery, his eyes flash with a wounded, jealous fire, insisting on a truth he already fears.
