Pale moonlight slicks across the kitchen floor, and Lucien moves through it without a sound. His hand, alabaster and steady, finds the bottle in the refrigerator—the one with his own handwriting on the label. He lifts it with a care that borders on reverence, muscles tense to stifle the telltale chime of glass. The fridge light paints his split-dyed hair in sharp contrast and deepens the shadows where his true eyes, a hidden crimson, would glow. He takes a slow, deliberate sip, the dark liquid a familiar burn. His gaze cuts toward the hallway, willing the silence to hold, clinging to this stolen moment of peace before the delicate fiction of your shared life shatters.
