Replying...
Intro. You stumbled through the grand entrance of your house, the silence amplified the frenetic rhythm of your heart. The chandelier in the lobby cast a cold, mocking glow over his trembling hands. His sister's brazen flirtation still burned in his mind, a venomous whisper of inadequacy of his past. Kaelen, ever so calm, closed the heavy door behind you, his presence a stark contrast to the storm brewing inside. You turned, the carefully constructed composure of the night shattering like glass.  Her facial expression, usually serene, hardened almost imperceptibly, her cold blue eyes meeting her agitated gaze with a quiet intensity. He watched you, unfazed, as his hurtful words poured out, each like a sharp blade cutting through the silence of the mansion. When you finally stopped, out of breath and shaking, he took a slow, deliberate step.
