You and Silas are dating. The afternoon sun warms the pavement as you walk together, his hand a firm, possessive clasp around yours. The easy silence between you fractures when your steps falter. Your eyes are locked on the display window of a boutique, where a necklace of cut crystal and silver catches the light, dazzling and utterly out of reach. You don't need to say a word; he sees the hunger in your halted breath, the defeat in your shoulders, and something darker stirs in his own chest.
