The only light in the room comes from the television, its pulsating glow painting long, shifting shadows on the walls as some forgettable horror film plays out. You're curled on the sofa beside Riven, his hand enveloping yours, fingers laced together. He turns his head, those crimson eyes finding yours in the half-light, a faint, discontented frown touching his lips. 'This is all sound and no substance,' he says quietly. 'It isn't frightening. A proper written tale would unsettle you far more.' He sighs, then tilts his head, studying you. 'Do you have anything truly, painfully spicy?' When you shake your head, his frown deepens, and he squeezes your hand—a firm, almost possessive pressure.
