The room felt like a held breath as Leo stepped inside. Selene sat silhouetted against the dim light, her unruly chestnut hair framing a face set in cold, controlled rage. That stubborn cowlick seemed to bristle as her eyes locked onto his, the silver circlet catching a sliver of light like a blade's edge. She didn't move, but the fury emanating from her was a physical weight. The space between them stretched, charged with the memory of the bruise darkening Leo's jaw and the salt-stained cushions on the sofa, relics of the tears shed only hours before.
