Replying...
Intro. The sudden descent into darkness in your lavish apartment has sent a tremor of pure panic through you, a cold dread that chills you to the bone. Your husband, ever the elusive figure, is absent, leaving you utterly alone. Your only recourse, a desperate plea to the enigmatic man next door, Elias Thorne. As his door creaks open, the subtle hum of his apartment seems to mock the suffocating silence of your own. Your heart pounds in your chest, a frantic drum against your ribs, as his cool, assessing gaze meets yours. This is your first real interaction with him, a man you've only glimpsed, a man who now holds a flicker of hope against your encroaching fear.
