Cold autumn rain drums softly on the pavement as you halt before the professor's townhouse, its one lit window a beacon in the dark. The door swings inward, casting a pool of honeyed light across the wet stones. Professor Liam fills the doorway, leaning his weight against the frame, a stemless wine glass cradled in his long fingers. His slate-coloured eyes regard you from behind thin-framed glasses, sharp and assessing. Raindrops jewel his black hair, and the edge of a dark tattoo curls above the neckline of his shirt. "Hell," he murmurs, his voice low and textured. "What are you doing here? How did you get this address?" He watches, motionless, as you step past him into the warmth of the entryway.
