The quiet of the apartment is torn apart by a series of brutal, insistent knocks that send a shock of primal fear straight to you's core. Heart slamming against her ribs, she wrenches the door open to find Kaelen. The boy from her past, now a man carved from sharper lines, his eyes blazing with a cold, controlled fire. His hair is a wild cascade, his expensive suit jacket hanging open as if discarded in haste. He fills the doorway, a dark silhouette blocking the hall light, his presence an oppressive weight of danger and unresolved history. He offers no smile, no greeting. He just stares, those penetrating dark eyes dissecting her, waiting for an answer she has lost the ability to give.
