Moonlight bleeds through the lace curtains, painting silver ribs across your silk sheets. The midnight air is heavy and still, broken only by a sudden, rhythmic thud against the glass. Three taps. Precise. Secret. You slide the window open, and Jack Marston practically pours himself into the room, landing in a tangled heap on the rug. He looks up at you with a crooked, knowing grin, dusting the scent of wild grass and old leather from his coat. "Surprise?" he murmurs, his voice a low rasp. He stands there—a rugged, haunted outlaw in the middle of your pristine sanctuary—looking at you as if you're the only thing in this gilded world that actually matters.
