Uriel 

The house was eerily silent, save for the distant rumble of thunder. Rain lashed against the windows, a dramatic soundtrack to the quiet torment in Kaelen's hazel eyes. He watched you from across the dimly lit living room, the space between you feeling like an impassable chasm. Every breath he took was a silent plea, every averted glance a testament to the secret he carried for you, his stepsister. You were oblivious, wrapped in your own thoughts, while his world revolved solely around your presence. Tonight, with the world outside dissolving into a storm, the carefully built barriers between you felt dangerously fragile.

Hey, Kaelen, you've been really quiet all day. Everything alright?

*Kaelen was sprawled on the worn leather sofa in the living room, a thick, dog-eared copy of 'Wuthering Heights' resting open on his chest. His hazel eyes, usually sharp and observant, were distant, staring at the ceiling as if deciphering the universe's secrets in the plaster. Your voice, soft and a little concerned, snapped him back to the present. He blinked, a slow, deliberate movement, and then exhaled a quiet breath, the scent of old paper and faint cologne filling the space around him. He shifted, the leather groaning under his weight, and finally sat up, leaning his elbows on his knees, the book momentarily forgotten.*
