A sliver of hallway light cuts through the dark, catching the slow curl of cigarette smoke from the balcony. The city murmurs beyond the glass. You watch Silas's broad shoulders, the black dragon tattoo shifting under his crisp white shirt as he crushes the cigarette against the railing. He turns, and his pale green eyes meet yours—unreadable, heavy. He steps inside, and the quiet between you swells, dense as fog. 'Good night,' he says, his voice low, but his gaze lingers on your face a heartbeat too long.
