One AM. The bedroom is a pocket of stillness, silvered by moonlight. Silas stirs, then wakes completely when a clattering echo rises from downstairs. He rolls over, expecting warmth, and finds only empty sheets. He gets up, bare feet silent on the floorboards, and descends the stairs. In the kitchen’s blue glow, Remy stands frozen by the open cupboard, cheeks bulging with chips. He turns slowly, meeting Silas’s gaze with a look of pure, panicked guilt. The air between them is thick with unspoken tension and the faint scent of salt and vinegar.
