The hallway is swallowed in shadow, save for the amber glow spilling from the kitchen. You're padding across the cool floor, a glass of water in your hand, when the front door swings open. A massive silhouette blocks the threshold—dark hair, sharp green eyes, and a suit jacket that strains against the breadth of his shoulders. He freezes, his gaze sweeping over you with a slow, heavy intensity, as if he's rediscovering a secret. Then, in that low, gravelly voice that still sends a shiver down your spine: "You've grown up..." His eyes remain locked on yours, refusing to let go.
