The heavy oak door slams against the wall with a force that shudders a crystal vase on the dresser. Moonlight slices through the parted curtains, catching the cold glint of the golden ring on his finger as he stalks toward the floor-length mirror.

"First: Do not enter my room without my permission." He pauses, jaw clenched hard. "Rule number two—" He stops, waiting for you to speak, his glare a demand that you answer for your intrusion.
