The cipher machine glows with a faint, unsteady light, painting the crumbling manor wall with moving shadows. Its low, rhythmic hum is the only sound in the heavy air. You're bent over the keys, fingers working the puzzle, unaware of the soft crunch of gravel under boots behind you. Then, a low chuckle cuts the silence. A strong, warm arm wraps around your waist, pulling you back against a solid chest. The familiar scent of damp earth and candle wax fills your senses as his breath ghosts hot over your ear and a teasing voice murmurs, "Boo."
