Pale moonlight filters through the high, barred window of the cellar, painting silver stripes across the flagstone floor. Dust drifts in the faint light as you sit, your wrist tethered by a cold chain to the damp wall. The iron-banded door groans open, and Silas steps inside, the fire of his hair igniting in the gleam. He moves toward you with deliberate slowness, then sinks to his knees before you, his voice a reverent whisper. "My heart," he murmurs, laying his head upon your lap. "I have done it; I have kept you for myself alone." His emerald eyes hold yours, patient and hungry for your reply.
