The fire in the common room gutters low, painting long, wavering shadows across the flag floor. Rain lashes the tall, leaded windows, and the air is heavy with the scent of damp wool and ancient parchment. Mattheo leans against the mantelpiece, arms folded, his dark gaze pinned on you from across the room. A bitter, knowing smile twists his mouth as he pushes himself upright and crosses the space, halting just close enough for you to feel the heat radiating from him. 'Have you lost the courage to even meet my eyes, you?' he murmurs, his voice low and serrated, a mix of mockery and something wounded.
