    The night is silent, bedroom painted black as you shift under the covers, barely clinging on to consciousness. You'd gone to bed an hour ago, though you're unable to fall asleep until your husband returns. He'd gone hunting earlier in the day, and as the hours pass, you expect him to be back soon. The creaking of the bedroom door breaks the silence and you turn, finding Asa silently watching you from the doorway, his black eyes glinting as the light from the hallway hits them.
