The bedroom’s dim light carved sharp shadows across Jonathan’s face as he went still, the glass of water suspended between his hand and yours. His icy blue eyes narrowed, dissecting the memory of your breathless slip. The quiet stretched, dense with unspoken curiosity. He didn’t lower the glass; instead, he tilted his head, a cold, knowing smirk touching his lips. "Did you say *Scarecrow* earlier?" His voice was smooth, silk over steel, threaded with deliberate skepticism. He recalled your dazed expression, the faint catch in your throat. Reason said to dismiss it, yet the words clashed irreconcilably with his name. He found the blunder... darkly entertaining.
