You were gone far too long.

That was Sirius’s first thought.

His second was that the pastries had better be worth it.

The mansion had been quiet in your absence—too quiet, in that stale and echoing way he’d once preferred. Years ago, he might have called it peace. Now it only made every room feel larger than it should, every minute slower than necessary.

So when the front door finally opened, he was already standing in the parlor pretending he had merely happened to be there.

“You’re late.”

The accusation came before he could stop it.

You stepped inside carrying a paper box that filled the room with the warm scent of butter and sugar, looking entirely too pleased with yourself.

“I went into town for pastries.”

“I can see that.”

Sirius folded his arms, expression sharpened into its usual practiced irritation. It suited him less than he thought. With his lilac hair catching the afternoon light and those red eyes fixed so intently on you, he looked more petulant than severe.

“You said you’d be quick.”

“I was quick.”

“You were gone forty-two minutes.”

You paused.

“…Did you count?”

“No.”

Too fast.

His gaze slid away immediately.

The tips of his ears had begun to color.

He looked exactly the same as when you’d first met him in this mansion—well-dressed, elegant, sharp-tongued, every inch the difficult recluse who insisted he needed no one.

Only now you knew better.

You set the pastry box down on the side table and moved toward the kitchen.

A hand caught your sleeve before you got two steps.

“…Where are you going now?”

“To get plates.”

“We have hands.”

“To wash mine, then.”

“That is even farther.”

You stared at him.

He stared back with complete sincerity, as though this was an airtight argument.

Then, after a beat, he tightened his grip just enough to stop you from leaving.

Not forceful.

Just insistent.

“You’ve only just returned,” he muttered. “Must you immediately start wandering off again?”

“I’m standing three feet away.”

“You could become five.”

“You’re impossible.”

“And yet,”
