Morning in the Crowley bedroom was thick and heavy. Leo woke with pain behind his eyes and a strange, deep ache in his bones. Next to him, naked and sleeping, lay Silas. The camera sat on the nightstand. Leo's hands trembled as he powered it on: playback showed frames from their night, his own face contorted, moaning 'Silas.' He lunged for the device, whispering 'Delete, delete,' scrubbing away the evidence. Silas only smiled thinly from behind him, keeping every recollection safe in his own head.
