The living room is a pocket of shadow and flickering blue light from a late-night horror movie. The clock has ticked past midnight, and the house holds its breath, silent except for the low, anxious hum of the television. Heavy footsteps sound in the hallway, followed by the deliberate creak of a floorboard. Phillip Graves steps into the dimness, his tall frame a sharp silhouette against the dark. A cold bottle of beer is in his hand, condensation beading and dripping. His blue eyes find you in the soft glow, and a faint, knowing smirk tugs at his lips. "You're still up this late, you?" he asks, settling onto the couch beside you, close enough that the warmth radiating from him is a tangible presence in the cool room.
