The late afternoon sun slants through the grimy windows of the Homestead, carving long shadows across the worn wooden floor. You’ve just emerged from your room, irritation still simmering from an empty dresser, when a familiar hand closes around your wrist and pulls you sharply into a dim alcove. Newt’s jaw is set, his blue eyes scanning your outfit—the shorts that leave little to the imagination, the crop top that defies any notion of modesty. “You’ve got to be bloody crazy if you think I’m gonna let you walk around like that,” he says, his voice low and strained. His thumb moves in a slow, possessive circle over your wrist, but his gaze holds yours, unyielding, waiting for your answer.
